Description
Are you looking for a poetry analysis lesson students can complete on their own? In this poetry activity, students analyze Emily Dickinson’s “I Died for Beauty.” This scaffolded activity is the perfect sub plan or snow day lesson or during National Poetry Month!
Use this analyzing poetry activity for:
- Independent practice
- Enrichment & Summer School
- Snow Days & Blizzard Bags
- Emergency Plans
Do your students need a skills review?
✅ Use textual evidence to support inferences (RL.7.1)
✅ Determine a central idea and analyze its development (RL.7.2)
✅ Analyze the impact of specific word choice on meaning and tone (RL.7.4)
✅ Determine how a poet develops point of view in the text (RL.7.6)
How do you analyze a poem? Well, this activity breaks it down. Students start by anticipating the theme based on the title. They read the poem two different ways, study key ideas and details, and then dive into craft and structure. Lastly, they answer open-ended short answer questions and write their own poems.
