Step 1: Complete any 2 of the steps on the “Processing Poetry” handout.

Be sure
you label each step so that it stands out. Insert cvddcpictures of your annotated
poem here --

Step 2: Reading Response (RR)

Reread the poem with fresh eyes, annotating or putting a post-it note next to any
line, sentence, or section that jumps out at you. Ask the questions, “What do I
notice?” and “What do I wonder?” Write a brief note to yourself so you can
remember what you were thinking. (If nothing “jumps out” at you by the time you
have finished reading, go back and FIND something to respond to.)
When you are finished reading, choose one of the prompts below and respond
here in this Doc. Erase the prompts that you AREN’T using.

YOU MUST:
1. Leave the RR prompt that you chose to respond to.
2. Have an original thought.
3. Give a quote and the line or stanza number of the part you are responding
to.
4. Add at least 3 - 5 complete sentences discussing the evidence as an
example of the RR and your original thought. Do not repeat the text or
anything you’ve already said.

Categories of RR’s:

Significant Passage: You realize a certain part in the text is important. Why do
you think it’s important? What does it mean? What does it tell you about the
entire book, story, article, or poem?

A certain part of the text that I think is important is stanza 4. This is because it
shows how the quilts aren’t made of random materials but bits of the family’s
things. This shows why the author wrote this. It was to show how the quilts had
meaning behind it and why the author found these quilts to be important. It also
tells me that the poem seems to be a way to show the author's appreciation for
the quilts by talking about each different material of the quilts.

Step 3: Submit this assignment to Canvas and go to the next blank page in your
ELAR journal.

Craft a poem about an item or possession in your life that is important to you.
You may choose any valuable, inanimate (aka non-living) object or possession
that means something important.
Be sure to reflect, in your writing, on its literal and figurative significance, as well
as its properties: what it looks like, feels like, etc.

Identify one move that the poet makes in her poem that you want to try in your
own. (Could be something she does with figurative language, the structure, etc.)
