This poetry reading comprehension supports students in distinguishing their own point of view from the author (or in this case, the poet). There are six poems in which the poet expresses their point of view on a particular topic. the accompanying six task cards then ask students to consider how their own point of view compares.
NO PREPARATION REQUIRED
The poems and task cards require no preparation and can be printed or completed digitally (on slides). The tasks are open-ended, meaning there is no right or wrong answer. There is therefore no need for an answer key.
A RANGE OF POEMS
The six poems cover a variety of contentious topics such as:
-Not wanting a pet
-Only having a small number of friends
-Digital books are a bad idea
-We must stop throwing away so much waste
-Being bored indicates a lack of imagination
The poems are written in such a way to encourage students to decide whether they agree or disagree.
ENGAGING ACTIVITIES
The six task cards are completed in a number of different ways. There are questions to answer, tables to complete and longer, open-ended tasks.
