Poetry in a Box (formative)

For next class, print out your Emily Dickinson poem and like Ms. Habegger annotate your poem.

A high-scoring close reading would:
connect form and content to demonstrate their understanding
(i.e, ¨heart¨ and ¨hearth¨ or ¨morning¨ and ¨mourning¨ relate to the aftermath of a funeral)

A mid-scoring close reading would:
demonstrate valid inferences that relate to the overall meaning of the poem

A low-scoring close reading would:
misread or misinterpret various literal elements of the poem

Here's a high-scoring example.
