- Divide into EIGHT groups (there must be eight, so don’t ask).
- Send a representative to choose from the PINK BIN OF DESTINY.
- Given the Poetic Concept you are assigned, choose ONE poem from the At-Home-Poem-Packet.
- Sign up on the door for that specific poem. (a poem can only be analyzed ONCE for tone and ONCE for theme)
- Once you have selected your poem, complete the following:
- Fully annotate your poem for your Poetic Concept
- Complete your annotations in a presentable way (on butcher paper, digitally, poster board, whateves)
ii.These annotations should reflect the thinking and brainstorming that goes into the paragraph your group will present
- Write a gorgeously articulated, fully developed, textually supported paragraph that addresses how the presence of your assigned Poetic Concept in the poem establishes tone or theme (you have several templates, exemplars, AND drafts to work from; you know what I expect in a good paragraph)
- Ensure that each group member knows their specific part for the presentation on FRIDAY. (if you do not talk on FRIDAY, you get no points!)
