15 Conceptual Statements - one for each poem. Students must work out which poem each conceptual statement is referring to.
Also contains summaries of each poem using the ‘because, but, so’ method from the writing revolution.
The ‘because, but, so’ method is an excellent tool for teaching students to think analytically about each poem in the Power and Conflict anthology. This tool is powerful because it encourages students to expand their thinking with precision and detail.
After studying each poem, I ask students to write a ‘because, but, so’ paragraph on it.
This document collates ‘because, but, so’ paragraphs on all 15 poems as examples to assist students with revising the key ideas in each poem.
