Analyze and describe the role of imagery in poems linked by theme.
Students will research how the development of the atomic bomb affected people in World War II, participate in a debate about the bomb's use, and investigate how it has affected people's lives since 1945.
Students will learn the basic tools for analyzing images using description, reflection, and formal analysis.
Students will read an artist's statement by Dorothea Lange and write an artist's statement based on their own photographs.
This is a remix of the original resource provided by Elizabeth Huggin. In this activity, students will complete four tasks that will help them identify, analyze, and describe the role of imagery in poems linked by theme. Students will work individually or collaborate on different tasks, working through the process of identifying, illustrating, analyzing, and describing figurative language in a variety of poems. Differentiation options are provided within the activity as well.
Students analyze one of Dorothea Lange's photographs and make connections to its historical context by creating a one-page written and visual response.
