Found Poem Lit Analysis
#poetrypause #aplit #teachersky

Step 1: Create a found poem w/ 1-3 sentences lifted from Pride and Prejudice.

Step 2: Gallery walk annotating what you notice about diction and syntax seeing the lines others crafted into this new form.

This will be my next blog post on Moving Writers, but Friday I had such a good #poetrypause with a tricky class.

After a tiny review of parallel structure in our poem of the day, I had then write a one page poem w that skill + vocab.

First lines:

The world a better place

🙂🥺

Okay @deirdmault.bsky.social — absolutely on fire from the first two lines:

“I was sorry for the mercy sex,
but humans hunt humans.”
