    • 35 poems that can be read and/or viewed online. There are a variety of texts for you to choose from so that you can re-use this activity again (or swap in your own links).
    • Menu prompts students to think about poem structure and style, and to make inferences. There is also a menu of writing options which you may choose to use as an extension.

If you want students to focus on a particular skill or question(s) at each station, simply circle or highlight on the menus for this station.
