SIFTing a Poem

Today in English 10 we discussed how to unpack a poem.  We discussed a strategy called SIFT which stands for sensory information, imagery, form and the title.  It is important to look for these things after reading the poem.
These are the following topics covered:
1.) Unpacking a poem
2.) Unpacked the poem "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noes
3.) Made a found poem

Tomorrow we will be starting our acrostic poem and finishing our found poem.
