You are going to choose a poem of at least 15 lines to read, learn and memorize. You may choose any poem, but it should be a poem that you like and has some significance to you--is about a topic you are interested in, an emotion you have felt, a place you enjoy spending time, a favorite season, etc. I have poetry books in the classroom and you may look at the sites below to find a poem.
