APRIL Poetry "Packet": The Job Interview

In light of April's personalization of learning during the "Teaching Terms" lessons, it seems like a meaningful time to use our monthly poetry packet reflections to discuss the personal impact that poetry has had on your lives. Please follow directions below.

1.) You're at a job interview with your favorite writer/poet/author. Your answers to their interview questions will determine whether you get the job. (This is BIG because you're banking on finally moving out of mom's basement...). Take the interview by posting your responses to questions A, B and C.

A. What three words best describe you?
B. What published poem speaks to WHO YOU ARE? (Post it w/ author's name. Hint: words DO NOT need to physically be in poem--it would be less shallow if it actually didn't...)
C. Picking apart tone, theme, imagery and/or diction, why would you pick this one to say something about you?
