Lines and Voices

Lines and Voices
This activity pairs with the Voice step of our Poetry UnVeiled system.

Part of getting to know the voice of a poem involves being able to imagine the speaker of any given poem as a variety of people or things. This resources provides printables to use in the classroom and introduces students to the fact that how a reader envisions the speaker of the poem can change the entire meaning by having them choose lines of poetry and potential voices and mashing them up for some poignant - and some hilarious - results.
