Group Assignment: • You must first read, analyze, and interpret (torture) your poem in order to fully understand it. • Your poster should include SOAPStone analysis as well as details highlighting poetic devices in your poem (figurative language, alliteration, onomatopoeia, allusion, rhythm, rhyme, etc.). Don’t forget to answer the “So What?” question! • You can paint, color, or use collage to illustrate the imagery in the poem of your choice. • Be sure to copy the poem exactly as it appears, including the title and poet.
