The document provides instructions for students to analyze pairs of poems in groups of four. It explains that each group member will analyze a different aspect of the poems, such as symbols, tone, or characterization. They are to write a paragraph discussing examples from both poems related to their assigned aspect. The exemplar paragraph compares the treatment of displacement and a lack of cultural identity in the poems "House and Land" by Allen Curnow and "Sad Joke on a Marae" by Apirana Taylor.
