Poe process of elimination

Let’s Take a Look At HOW we answer questions…. ,[object Object]

What do the directions say? ,[object Object]

So what does that mean? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

So what is POE ,[object Object],[object Object]

Let’s Practice ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Several of these could possibly be acceptable. So how do we decide. Watch

Let’s Practice ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],I can eliminate answer choice ‘d’. I know alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words. I don’t see any sounds that repeat in these words.

Let’s Practice ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],I can eliminate answer choice ‘b’. I know a metaphor is a comparison of two UNLIKE things by calling one something else. There is nothing like that here. Things are only described, not called a name. So which is it?

Let’s Practice ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],That leaves two things. Simile and Rhyme. I know a simile compares two unlike things using like or as. I know rhyme is when words have end sounds that are the same. Since I’m not sure, I put a “?” beside those

Let’s Practice ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],I need to go back and look at these two ideas more carefully. A simile compares two UNLIKE things using like or as. It says SUGAR IS SWEET . Is that really a Simile? No, so I will eliminate it.

Let’s Practice ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],That means my only correct answer is Rhyme. So, even if I wasn’t sure, that is the only answer left that I have decided isn’t wrong.

Let’s see how this works… even when we don’t know what the words mean **note – there is a made up words in the next poem. Tobdklx is not a real word. But watch. With POE you can still get a right answer – even when you don’t know a word!

Look carefully ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Let’s Use POE ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Which can I eliminate first? Hmmm…. Grass. Because the sentence says “I could not”. That means it is something you can do. You can’t GRASS.

Let’s Use POE ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The same can be said for SNAKE. So I will eliminate that next.

Let’s Use POE ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],It is something you can do, so I can walk or freeze. So I put a “?”

Let’s Use POE ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],So which makes more sense in this poem?

Let’s Use POE ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],If you said WALK, you are right. That makes more sense in the sentence with the words move or pass. Those are both action words. So is WALK

SO REMEMBER…. … always use POE to help you figure out which is the best possible answer… not which is the right answer! -Deborah Womble
