1. Select a poem from the literature book that you enjoyed, moved you, or that you have strong feelings about.
2. Annotate your poem’s themes, symbols and possible meanings. See example handout in poetry folder.
3. Find and read some biographical background information and literary criticism on the poet, poem, and the time period when the poem was written.

How does what you found out about the author and time period relate to the poem’s theme, meaning, possible interpretations? b. Who is the persona/speaker in the poem? c. What are the major symbols in the poem? What are their possible meanings/interpretations? d.

Write the word “line(s)†before the numbers in parenthetical references. Capitalize the first word of a new line that follows a slash.
