  • Yesterday you started working on analyzing your stanzas for figurative language as a group.
  • Your mission is to create a presentation with the following information:
    • Your stanza numbers
    • Your names
    • 4 different examples of imagery/figurative language 
    • The main idea of the poem 
    • Discussion questions for the class
  • There is a SLIDE TEMPLATE HERE that you can use to complete the project. 
= Presentations will happen on Monday during class. =

3. When You Finish the Project: 
I will give you a double-sided sheet that will help you with our next assignment: 
  • Side 1 is a brainstorm for you to consider your ideas for your poem. 
  • Side 2 is an outline of Angelou's poem that you can fill in with your own experiences.
    • Extra opportunity: Copy Angelou's rhyme scheme. Only certain lines rhyme with each other! 
Things you should have finished by the end of TODAY:
