These slides are very useful when teaching theme. I also used them when analyzing poetry. I will continue to refer to them throughout the school year.

My students enjoyed this resource that I incorporated into my unit for teaching this the standards I covered. It was helpful by engaging them to independently assess their knowledge of the skills I covered in class. I was able to assess how well they understood the lesson through this resource.
