Extra Help

1. Use close reading strategies as you read the poem.

2. Recall tips from the tutorials and to understand figurative language. Refer to that information as you explain your choices in the activity.

3. Put yourself in the "shoes" of your classmate. If you were struggling, what explanation would make most sense? Would it be jargon-filled, or would it be described in an easy-to-understand or even humorous way? Explain figurative language using your own straightforward words.
