Inside the packet there are three different poetry passages. The purpose of this lesson was to teach students how to read, analyze and understand poetry. While reading poetry students will make reference of the mood/ feelings of the poet, and sum up what they think the poet is talking about in the poem.

Speaking & Listening: Students will actively participate in classroom discussions about the poems after the completion of reading. I asked students to write at the top of each poem what they felt was the mood. As they finished students put own their pencils so I would be aware as to who were finished, allowing students requiring accommodation extra time. When all students were complete I had them to exchange packets with the closet student next to them. Once packets were exchanged we began going over the poems as a whole group. I read the poems individually and asked students by raising hand what did they think the poem meant, and what was the mood. Students who answered incorrectly was given the reason as to why the feelings of the poem was misunderstood to them. I had students circle and underline sentences throughout the poem that suggested what the author was referring to. I taught students how to break the poem into pieces, how to spot context clues, and how
