Poem for Two Voices – Loyalists and Patriots
A poem for two voices is written for two people to perform. The poetry usually has two columns – one for each person who is reading the poem. Sometimes the poet wants the two readers to say something at the same time, so the poet writes the words on the same line in each column. These poems often sound like a dialogue for two people.
Use the information you have learned about Patriots and Loyalists during our lessons and other activities to compose a poem for two voices. The voices should convey the beliefs, feelings, and reactions of Patriots and Loyalists.Include three ideas or beliefs that they both had in common.Include two beliefs, feelings, and/or reactions that are different.
For example: When you have beliefs, ideas, reactions they have in common say …
“We are…” or “?” When a Patriot would speak…
“I am….” Or “?” When a Loyalist would speak…
“I am….” Or “?”
Consider the important issues discussed in class:The French and Indian WarThe Proclamation of 1763The Stamp ActThe Quartering ActThe Townshend Acts
The Boston MassacreThe Tea ActThe Boston Tea PartyThe Intolerable ActsLexington and Concord
