Question

In this discussion, you'll reflect on the reading strategies you used while reading this lesson's poems (and which are useful for poetry in general). More specifically, you'll think about the process by which you select a reading strategy to help you comprehend poetry.

Let's examine one of your classmate's posts.

The reading strategy I use changes from poem to poem, but one thing I've found that's easy for me to do is making text-to-self connections. I think that's because the speakers of poems aren't often named, so it's easy to step into their shoes and imagine myself as the speaker.

What are some strategies you use when reading poetry?
What do you look for in poems to increase your comprehension? Post a reply to two of your classmates' strategies.
