The questions and activities can also be utilized in poetry lesson planning and unit design.

Use poetry questions for class discussion, Entrance and Exit “tickets,” small group seminars, and writing activity ideas. Use writing options in lessons to create opportunities for finding evidence and support in the text, employing critical thinking skills, and practicing test-taking skills. Fulfill requirements for IEP/GIEP learners, early finishers, independent study, varied learning styles, and more.

Note: This guide quotes the author’s use of the outdated term “negroes” as it appears in the poem’s text.
