When trying to understand a poem, the best place to start is with the question, "what did you notice? " don't worry about
what anything means, just focus on the words on the page. you might notice "these two lines rhyme" or "i noticed the
crow, it seemed important to me."
after you read "dust of snow," make notes about at least three things you noticed. then, with an instructor or fellow
student, have a quick discussion about the poem. share what you noticed. write down what other people noticed. did
you notice the same things? what do you feel about the parts that other people have pointed out?
your response should be at least 150 words in length.

alright no problem, cool
