Description
This purchase includes an individual poetry analysis of the two poems, "I, Too" by Langston Hughes and "I Hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman. Between these two poems, students will address: tone, repetition, rhythm, theme, allusion, symbolism, alliteration, and irony.
Students will then answer a constructed response question that requires them to reflect on both poems as well as their own personal experiences. An editable copy (word document) is included in this resource as well in case you would like to make any modifications.
