Poetry can be analysed or broken down based on structure and word choice.
Structure is the number of verses, lines, rhyming pairs and repeated lines the poet uses.
Word choice is the figurative language, sensory words and mood of the poem.

Dear Students,
The video below shows an example of what students should do before answering questions related to poems.
Have you ever had to answer a question and give supporting details?
The RACE strategy can help.
It involves answering and citing evidence to support your answer.
Read the text about elephants.
Study how the RACE strategy was used.
Why are elephants considered intelligent animals?
Answer:
Yes, elephants are intelligent. The text says, "to they protect themselves from the sun they throw mud and sand over themselves." and "they stand over their calves to protect them from the sun." This shows intelligence.
Reading between the lines to search for clues can help to infer meaning.
Evidence from the text helps us to justify our inferences.
Asking questions provides an opportunity to deepen our understanding of a text.
