whY IT IS IMPORTANT
This lesson is important because even though we want students to be able to interpret and analyze bodies of works on their own, walking through a text with others is a great experience to gain different insights. Literature in general is a content area that revolves heavily around audience comprehension and opinion. Additionally, the methods that are practiced with this interactive lesson reemphasize the structure and routine that individuals should have when analyzing poetry. The order and pace at which one goes is unique, with this and other demonstrations the student is able to take with them what they liked and alter what they didn’t to help them cultivate a process that they are comfortable with.
