Lesson 1: Genre Study: Poetry

California CCSS: Focus Standards

Interpret how structure and word choice distinguish prose from poetry and write a short poem about duality.
Use contrast language, first-person point of view, and concrete imagery to discuss and draft a poem about living between two worlds.

What is blood, and how does it work as a symbol of both family ties and our shared humanity?
What is culture, and how does it shape our identity and sense of belonging especially when we move between more than one world?
