Teachers, save “Read and Analyze Poetry” to assign it to your class.

Read and look at the example poem "Louder Than a Clap of Thunder." Then, using tools and audio, analyze the poem "Mother Doesn't Want a Dog." Look for and underline, circle, or highlight... - Figurative Language (similes, metaphors, idioms, hyperbole, and more) - Repetition (repeated lines) or Rhyme - Imagery (descriptive words that create a picture in your head) - Theme (what is the message in the poem) Type a short summary of the poem in your own words.
