Metaphysical Poetry

Go to page 62 in Alquin Renaissance.

Momento Mori & Carpe Diem

Momento Mori = Remember that you have to die

A philosophy that you live your life to fullest because you can never change what has happened after death. 

Carpe Diem = seize the day

Enjoy each day and seize every opportunity

Twin concepts which are essential to metaphysical poetry

So to summarize: 

Let's read To His Coy Mistress

You can read along starting on p. 70

Let's analyze what we've seen and what makes this a metaphysical poem. 

Study questions

In twos, answer the study questions on p. 72

We'll discuss them in 15 minutes. 

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
