Cut the poem into stanzas and glue onto a large piece of paper (Post-it poster sized paper). Place 1 stanza on each table.
2. Each table group reads and annotated the stanza. What do you notice? What do you think? What do you wonder?
3. Groups switch tables. Read the stanza and annotations. Discuss and add more annotations. 
4. Repeat until all stanzas have been read.
5. Have class discuss about the order of the stanzas. Students try to figure out how the stanzas are sequenced.]]> 2023-07-20 22:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kkintzel/g45yyuoawu8cbiw7/wish/2648801419 https://padlet.com/kkintzel/g45yyuoawu8cbiw7/wish/2648801581 Helping the students realize they know more than they realize is important.
