This document provides information and instructions for students on poetry. It includes definitions of poetry, discussions of why poetry endures, and quotes about the power of rhythm in poetry. Students are instructed to analyze poetic devices in a poem excerpt, and are given a poetry toolbox defining common poetic terms like metaphor, simile, rhyme scheme, and others. The document encourages students to add poetic devices to found poems they created, and assigns revising their found poem to incorporate two new devices as homework.
