SMILE - Guided analysis for ANY poem!

This is a step by step guide which works through Structure, Message, Imagery, Language and Emotions. Each element has a series of guided questions where students can choose what path to follow by checking them against their poem. They can then choose which basic interpretation most suits their poem.

Each element can be used separately in lessons, or the PP can be used as an entire lesson of independent study.

This is an excellent starting point for students who say they find poetry to hard but also to train students how to approach unseen poetry independently.
