Personal Reflection Poem

Students read a poem about change and the passing of time, then answer questions requiring interpretation of the poem’s message. They write a 5-7 sentence reflection connecting the poem’s ideas to their own life experiences, using details from the poem to support their writing. A final prompt encourages them to share their thoughts in discussion. This worksheet develops skills in interpreting poetic meaning, recognizing emotional messages, and writing thoughtful, text-based reflections. It promotes deeper engagement with poetry by linking the text to personal insight.
