This lesson builds on Lesson 10. Students again get to experiment with writing their own poems in a poetry workshop. They use their analysis of their poet’s work and knowledge of the characteristics of poetry to plan and write an inspired poem for their performance task.
In this lesson, students also participate in a simple critique session of their poems, focusing on use of imagery.
