READING QUIZ
GALLERY WALK
 All of your poems have been placed on the wall around the classroom.
 You are going to walk around and read all of your peers poems – please remember
that they will also be reading yours!
 I will give each of you five sticky notes. Your job is to write down either the tone,
mood, or theme of five of the poems while reading them. Keep in mind that these
will likely be different than the tone, mood, or theme of the novel.
 When you write these things down, place the sticky note on or around the poem for
the class to discuss once we have finished.
 I will play music while you are doing this – you should be silent and contemplative
FOLLOW UP

writing your poem? Think about the
tone, mood, or themes that your peers
used to describe your poem. Did you
intend to give it that feeling while
finding and arranging the quotes?

different tone, mood, or theme than
The Great Gatsby even though the
quotes came from there originally?
