We will analyze the metaphors and themes within these works, encouraging students to identify examples and discuss their meanings. Students will practice reading poetry and understanding its rules while actively participating in group discussions and activities. Through this exploration, they will gain a deeper appreciation for the artistic techniques that enhance poetic expression.
