Drafting Your Narrative Poem
Use your outline from the previous lesson Focus on one stanza at a time Experiment with rhyme patterns Include at least two strong metaphors Read aloud to check rhythm
Peer Feedback Guidelines
{"left":"What works well in this poem?\nWhich metaphors create strong imagery?\nHow does the rhythm flow when read aloud?\nWhat suggestions do you have for improvement?","right":"Use positive, respectful language\nFocus on specific examples\nAsk questions to help the writer think deeper\nRemember: we're all learning together"}
