Poem Analysis

Choose a poem for reciting. After you have had the poem approved, write it out by hand or type it. Then read the poem carefully. When you have to think about a poem, interview it as if it were a person. Ask it these questions. Also interview yourself: Why did you choose it? What do you like about it? What does it remind you of?

Use the answers to your questions to help you write a paragraph about the poem. Vary your sentences. Put a proper header at the top.

You may use this map to help you organize your thoughts.

Save the paragraph to your Google Docs English folder and title it with your last name, "Poem" and the month (Like this: TurnerpoemSept)
