Students watched a demonstration first with me finding poetic devices in the song 'Get Out The Way', by Mother Mother.
Students then chose a song to analyze.
Students shared their findings in small groups and collectively labeled any examples students were unsure of.
Finally, students were handed out the upcoming poetry project that they will be asked to complete.
This poetry project is DUE MONDAY APRIL 13TH.
