When introducing students to poetry, I review with them the academic vocabulary necessary to read and analyze complex poems. This is the presentation I use to introduce the unit of study. It ends with a specific task using the poem "Sarah Cynthia Silvia Stout" by Shel Shilverstein
This handout was used for my Southern Regional Education Board Summer Session presentation. I presented methods of integrating literacy strategies and technology to engage students.
One student stands with his/her back to the screen.
