War Poems and Poets Presentation & Handouts Distance Learning

The War Poems and Poets Presentation and Handouts covers the following poets and poems: Wilfred Owen's "Dulce Et Decorum Est" and "Anthem for a Doomed Youth;" John McCrae's "In Flanders Fields;" Randall Jarrell's "The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner;" and the song comparisons "One" by Metallica and "I Ain't Marching Anymore" by Philip Ochs. This bundle is perfect for distance learning. You can share it with your students and let them work at their own pace.

This IS included in my mega bundle: ALL of my POETRY RESOURCES GROWING BUNDLE.

This download includes a 30+ page presentation (in Microsoft Powerpoint .ppt, PDF, and Quicktime Movie .mov formats), a seven-page student handout (Microsoft Word and PDF), and an answer key (PDF). The questions practice the 9-10 and 11-12 ELA-Literacy Common Core State Standards skills, covering poetic devices, figurative language, interpretation, author's purpose, theme, and more.

Options/Differentiation: This is a great independent activity for students if you are interested in flipping your classroom. Have students view parts of the slideshow at home, then work on the questions in the classroom.
