Write annotations and a short introduction for a poem from this lesson. Your annotations and introduction will look at how the aesthetic impact of the poem is affected by tone, figurative language, and other elements.
Your assignment should include the following elements:
6 – 12 annotations that help the reader understand one of the poems from the lesson
Annotations that describe the poet's use of tone, diction, and word choice
Annotations that explain the meaning of the symbolism, themes, connotations, and figurative language in the poem
A paragraph that examines the overall meaning of the poem, supported by examples
You should have completed a draft of this assignment in the activity before this one. If you haven't done so, go back and complete that activity now.

Ask yourself these questions as you revise:
Did I connect my annotations directly to the text of the poem?
Did I focus each annotation on poetic devices?
Did I explain — in both my annotations and my introduction — how the poetic devices affected the aesthetic impact?

Use this rubric to determine how well you're meeting the criteria for the assignment.
