On your own, using any of the poems in your poetry journal, carry out the same diction exercise that we conducted last week. Post the results to your blog with the title "3.1 Diction Exercise."
(a) List the 8-10 words that strike you as most representative of the poem's diction.
(b) Characterize at least two of the four elements of diction, listing at least two adjectives to describe each element.
Use the last page of your tone handout to help you find adjectives that describe the elements you are observing. There are columns, for example, about "sound" and "appearance" that can help you to describe the music or concreteness of the language.
(c) Draft a full claim that uses 2-3 of the adjectives you came up with and then completing the right side using the class tone sheet.
