Day 11 Poetry

Do Now: Read and annotate one of the three poems you found. Make sure you are able to tell a neighbor who the speaker is and what the situation is. 


Today's Learning Target: 
I will be able to explain how I can research a poet's life and use the information to help me gain a better understanding of or deeper appreciation for his/her work.

I will know that I have hit the learning target when...
-I can locate appropriate sources for biographical information.
-I can make connections between an excerpt from a biography and a poem.

Agenda:

1. Your poet is...
2. Biography assignment
