2. As a class, brainstorm ideas for the class-constructed lyric poem, and create a list of possible subjects.
3. Work with your class to make a plan for your poem’s ideas, structure, and use of language by answering the following questions:
Ideas: What will be the subject of our poem? Who will be the speaker? What tone do we want to create? How and when will our tone shift?
Structure: How many stanzas do we want to have? How long will our lines be? How can we include a consistent rhyme scheme and/or meter?
Use of Language: How will we include sound techniques, as well as imagery (descriptive and figurative language)?
