What educators are saying
This was a great tool to help students break down poetry. I think it made them feel more comfortable and less intimidated about poetry altogether.

This purchase includes:
- An introduction to the life of Maya Angelou
- Analyses of Angelou's three poems: Still I Rise, Caged Bird, and Woman Work
- A constructed response question which requires students to compare and contrast two of the three poems based on theme, imagery, tone, language, style, mood, or the influence of Angelou's life on her work
- Sentence starters for struggling writers to write the text-dependent analysis paragraph
The analyses questions cover important poetic devices including: simile, tone, alliteration, rhyme scheme, speaker, repetition, imagery, personification, juxtaposition, universal theme, stanzas, and mood.
