It’s all Poetry!
• Many authors have unique styles, phrasing, imagery, word choice (even Emma)
• Finding your voice as a poet is important • Standards are only relative to the person
reading that poem • As we move through the unit and you practice
writing and reading poems, you will find you connect to certain voices.
