Poetry Unit Exam
Your unit exam for poetry will include 3 poems with questions and you also need to know your poetic devices. All of your work for your poetry presentations and your project have been in preparation for the unit exam.
Think of the worksheets that we did at the beginning of the unit: you read a poem and answered questions such as what is the mood and identifying poetic devices. Your unit exam will look similar :-)
