 * Directions:** When annotating a poem for class, note the following, 1-10, on the poem itself; you only need to WRITE the words in **bold**, unless otherwise noted.

1. The **Power of I--**where it is first included and why 2. **Strong verb**s (at least 2) 3. **Details** that put you into the scene 4. A reference to something that happened in **the past** 5. The **"so what"**: ALSO, MUST WRITE IN YOUR OWN WORDS: The BIG picture message of the poem 6. A **cool line break** that makes you think 7. An interesting use of **punctuation** (one that adds to the meaning of the poem) 8. Effective **repetition** 9. Make an observation about the poem's **conclusion or title** 10. **Something ELSE** you notice and **why**
