Task One

Click the mouse button anywhere on the slideshow screen to advance to the next slide. Whenever you see an underlined word, find it on the Poetry Vocabulary Worksheet and write the definition in the box. If you see an example in the presentation, find the example space in some of the literary term boxes and write it down.
