Group Assignment: Reading and Analysis • In groups you will re-read and discuss the poems. Then you will answer the questions posed to the reader on page 159. • Answer questions 1,3, and 4. Also for each poem, identify the central idea and one supporting detail. The supporting detail should be in quotes. • Each student writes their answers on their own papers. • You will have ten minutes to answer the questions. • At the end of the 10 minutes, each group will share their answer to at least one of the questions with the whole class. Check Predictions and Short Lesson Reflection • Please answer the following questions. We will spend one minute on each question. Please try to write the entire time. 1.
