Lesson 6 | Text Structures: Poetry

Assignment

Instructions

  1. Use the cheat sheet to highlight the aspect/mood of all verbs. Use the first five colors for the first five aspects/moods on the cheat sheet, along with the grey, bright blue, and purple for participles, infinitives, and imperatives respectively.
  2. Divide up the text into lines.
  3. Add a space between each stanza.
  4. Indent the subordinate clause(s) in each stanza.
  5. Since we’re not working with a whole poem (it began in 2:2 in English), don’t try to combine the stanzas into paragraphs.
  6. Translate the text.
Note: Verse 10 shifts back to narrative, thus providing an end frame to the poem, like 1:17 and 2:1 provide a beginning frame. Therefore you should treat v. 10 as narrative rather than poetry, basing your work on what we taught in Lessons 2 and 4.

Markup, divide, add spaces, indent, and translate the text.
