The Best and the Worst Activity Sheet

First, let’s divide all that we have read this quarter into two groups: poems and anything that was not a poem.

For each of the groups, please do the following:

• First, briefly go through the text and select your choice for “best” and “worst” in each group.

• Next, write the name of your choice in the appropriate blank below or on the back.

• Then, for each choice write a brief justification giving reasons for your choice.

• Finally, bring this completed form to class.
