    This lesson plan introduces students to poetry through an activity analyzing the poem "My Papa's Waltz." Students will first read and analyze the poem individually, rating their understanding at different points. They will then discuss their interpretations in small groups before having a class-wide discussion led by the teacher. To assess learning, students will complete an anonymous quiz about the poem and lessons from the activity. The goal is for students to engage with poetry in deeper ways than just summary and to express their understanding through discussion and a rating scale.
