RESPONDING TO POETRY
Part II – Drafting a response after reading the text
IMAGES (PART 1)
i. Putting the text aside, list all the images you remember. Circle three
significant images you will write about (2 minutes).
ii. Turn to others in your group, and share what you came up with.
iii. Now look back at the poem and put your images in the exact words of
the poet.
iv. Describe the first image (5 minutes).
v. State what it means to you (3 minutes).
vi. Repeat, for the second and third images, in the same time (5 minutes + 3
minutes).
vii. Turn and read what you have so far to someone else in your group.
IMAGES (PART 2)
i. Fourth paragraph: State what these three images have in common. What
theme(s) run through what you have written? (8 minutes)
ii. Fifth paragraph: What assertions, based on the three images, do you want
to make about the text? (8 minutes)
iii. Sixth paragraph: What did you like about the text, and why? (4 minutes)
iv. Seventh paragraph: What did you dislike and why? (4 minutes)
v. How does your writing about these images change your attitude toward
the title, and answer your original questions? (5 minutes)
STRUCTURING
• Either cut and paste your paragraphs or number them in an order that
seems appropriate to you. Or you might follow this order:
1. Assertion
2. What you like
3. Three images with meanings
4. What you dislike
5. What these images have in common (10 minutes)
• Consider this order for a moment: Do you need to make any changes or
additions? (10 minutes)
REVISION
i. Write in whatever transitions seem necessary to give this first draft some
more unity and coherence. Shape it a bit, smoothing the seams between
paragraphs, reorganizing as necessary, and omitting obvious irrelevancies.
Don't bother with surface editing. (20 minutes)
ii. Bring the draft to next class to share with your peers.
