There'll be no more stammering through 45 minutes of discussing a poem that takes 2 minutes to read. The Poetry Part 2 teaching guide includes a summary and analysis of 13 poems; a ready-to-annotate and analyze copy of each poem; graphic organizers for digging deeper into figurative language, personification, imagery, sound devices, and theme; a guide for annotating and analyzing a poem; and answer keys for everything.

It's all bundled into one nice pdf. All you need to do is print it out, make copies, and do what you do.
