1. Choose 5 poems from the packet of poetry (what an alliterative direction!)
2. Free write a short reflection about each poem you've selected. Please write directly on the packet. In this reflection you are attempting to connect with the bigger ideas or deeper meaning of the poem. For each reflection, address at least two of the boxes from the chart below (you have a hard copy of this). They can be the same two boxes for each poem, but that might get a little boring.
This is due tomorrow.
