1. After reading through your poem, begin to locate the figurative language used by your author. You will most likely need to read the poem several times.

2. Record the text on your chart including the line number, which will be helpful later. Also, write the figurative meaning as used in the context of the poem. If you need help, use the figurative language sheet I gave you (also attaching it).

3. Discuss with your partner the overall theme or message the author was trying to convey through the poem.

4. Individually, write a paragraph stating the theme/message and explaining how you know this. Use textual evidence to support your ideas. You may have the same ideas and examples as your partner, but you should each write your own paragraph.
