In this worksheet, students read a three-stanza poem and match each stanza to its main idea. They must label each stanza with the correct idea from a provided list and write a short explanation of how every stanza helps shape the poem’s overall meaning. This activity teaches students to interpret stanzas as separate units while also understanding how they work together to build theme and mood. It supports structured poetry analysis and comprehension.
