Selected Poems of William Wordsworth

In addition to Wordsworth’s poems, this volume for students in grades 7-12 includes a “Pre-Flight”, a short introduction about reading poetry, a “Wrap-Up”, a more in depth explanation and discussion of some of the poems, along with “I Like to Walk,” where Mr. Draeger meets a strange man in Downtown San Diego who says he’s William Wordsworth. Also included are open-ended, Socratic discussion questions to help students think more in depth about the poems, some Wordsworth quotes and a list of some of his other works. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s also a portrait of Wordsworth and over a dozen memes and posters. There are also some blank memes that your students can fill in with their own text.
