This document provides an agenda and instructions for EWRT 1C Class 7. It will include a poetry reading and discussion of four poems: "There Is a Girl Inside", "The Fish", "A Black Rook in Rainy Weather", and "Memories of West Street and Lepke". Students will choose one poem for a 500-750 word thesis-driven essay responding to a prompt. The essay should provide a close reading examining how the poem communicates meaning through poetic techniques and how its parts come together as a whole. Students will discuss their chosen poem in groups to consider questions to help understand it and potential approaches for their essay and thesis.
