The deadline for adding hyperlinks to this
poem is Thursday, December 3rd.
As you wrap up hyperlinking this poem,
keep in mind that poetry is filled with deep
and hidden meaning.
There is much more to a poem than meets
the eye.

You must read between the lines to get the
deeper meaning of a poem.
Think carefully about what you read.
What does the line you just read represent -
what's it look like?
You must see through the literal.

As you wrap up this exercise, think about
what each line or passage in the poem is
saying and find the perfect picture synonym
to match it.

Do not put the exact line or passage into
your search box.
That will only get you what the student next

to you gets.

Be bold in your thinking.
Do not be intimidated by Google or other
search engines.
Type exactly what you mean in the search
box to get what you want.

STYLSTIC NOTE: Please keep your images
consistent - use all color images or all black
& white images.
Also use landscape images only - no portrait
pictures.
