Reread the poem, "My Father and the Fig Tree." As you reread, gather information in order to
write a narrative story.
In the poem "My Father and the Figtree," the
father is seen through the eyes of his daughter
(the speaker of the poem). Write an original
narrative story that discusses the daughter (the
speaker) and the fig tree from the point of view
of her father. In your story, use what you have
learned about the characters to convey the
father's relationship with the daughter and the
fig tree over time.
Organize your narrative story to highlight the
relationship between the father, daughter, and
the fig tree and the details from the poem. Use
relevant, concrete and sufficient details from the
poem to support your story as told from the
father's perspective. The details you reference
may be explicitly stated in the poem or logically
inferred from the poem.
