On the bottom write 1 question you still have.
At the top, brainstorm titles. Try to give your partner 2-3 suggestions! Random if you have to!
And TALK to your partner. Tell them what you noticed, what was awesome, what questions you have. Tell them what impacted you, and what you’ll remember after walking away from the poem.
