Poetry, Poets, and Becoming Writers

694 views

Students apply what they have learned about reading poems to a familiar poem as well as to a new poem. In Part I, they reread “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” and compare the poem to a prose version of the same event by completing a chart. They then show their understanding of the elements of poetry by answering selected response questions about the poem. In Part II, students read a new poem and write a summary, demonstrating their ability to use details from the poem to determine a theme and summarize the text.
