The assignment includes a sample article with highlighted passages as well as a sample poem based on that article. It could be used as a stand alone activity or part of a larger unit. It could also be used as a sub plan as long as students have access to current event articles.

A step-by-step activity for the study of poetry. Ideal for situations in which 5-10 poems by the same poet or on the same theme are being studied in a class, with 2-5 students focusing on each poem.
