Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

Answer: What students' senses tell them can be put into words, providing details and ideas for poetry. A preliminary activity that sharpens the students' senses begins with questions to activate sensory memories. For instance, questions can be asked to describe touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound. As students think and respond to these questions, they should be encouraged to go beyond their sensory memories to think about what their responses reminds them about a memory. When students think about how something sounds, looks, feels, tastes, or sounds, they begin to use the language of poetry.
