I’m going to give you 2 poems to read and then you answer the following questions in a word document.
| HIPSHOOTER | What is your first reaction (uncensored)? |
| HEART THROB |
What feelings does the text awaken? Which words/phrases make you feel this way? |
| MEMOREX | What memory does the work call to mind—songs, books, movies, experiences of the past? |
| EAGLE EYE | What do you see happening? Paraphrase the poem. |
| ARTIST |
What images are called to mind? How does the writer use imagery to make you see, touch, smell, taste, hear, and feel (touch) ideas in the poem? |
| SPEAKER | Listen to the voice or speaker in the poem. What does he or she sound like? Does the sound of his/her voice change? How would you describe this person? |
| DECODER | What specific words, phrases, or lines appear to be symbols, metaphors, similes, and personification that need to be decoded or investigated more fully? What could they mean? |
| WRITER |
If you had to write to the poet, what ideas about your life, people, society, and/or the world did he/she help you understand? How was the poem meaningful for you? |
Be sure to follow the rubric attached.I also have the two poems in a word document.
