These are some ways of working into and making meaning from a poem. Remember, we're letting go of the idea that there is a right answer to these poems. It's not about "getting it." It's better to have a feeling and reaction to the poem. Then, whatever your response, it's true to you. : )
1. Did you like it? Yes/No? Why? Explain. 2. Where did it take you? Did it remind you of anything? What did it make you think of? Can you relate to it? 3. What did it make you feel? What emotion was evoked? We're discussing the question - What is Poetry? And, how do we creatively express ourselves? |
