Welcome to the classroom! Today, we will explore poetry's significance through group work as part of our Student Discovery activity. Choose from topics such as poetry in the Civil Rights Movement, the Holocaust, identity expression, or social critique. Each group will have specific roles and must adhere to guidelines for respectful collaboration. You will identify literary devices and discuss the social issues illustrated in your chosen poem while preparing for a presentation to share insights with the class. Creativity and engagement are key!
