This lesson, along with “Food Poems” and “At the kitchen table with Joy Harjo,” is awesome. It is straightforward and excellent for a new teacher tackling poetry with her students for the first time. The lessons and exercises that accompany each poem are simple and easy to adapt into your own classroom. The hyperdoc format with pictures and slides is especially great. Thank you so much.
