Writing Project 2 - Workshop
As always, one paper at a time. Writer, read your paper out loud. Everyone, in writing, answer the following questions:
- What does the writer of the paper think the poem means?
- What specific details from the poem do they use to show that?
- What do you want to hear more about?
- What do you think about what they’re saying?
Share and discuss your responses, and hand your written feedback to the writer.
