Please read the "Approaching a Poem" section from 506-510 in your book. After your reading, please find a poem that you'd like to practice this thought process on. Read your poem and in your head, perform the same device by device analysis as your book. Then, find a partner. Engage them in a conversation where you explain everything there is to know about your poem. Then, if your partner is in our class, return the favor and listen to them talk about their poem. This conversation should be conducted using out loud words in person, on the phone, via Skype. Your partner does not have to be in our class. You may converse with a parent, sibling, friends, and if you have no other options, your pet or yourself in the mirror. Just do your analysis out loud.
