Through arduous training and dangerous missions, he weeds out the weak from the strong, assembling a group of hard-bitten warriors willing to fight and ready to die.Īntilles knows the grim truth: that even with the best X-wing jockeys in the galaxy, many will not survive their near suicidal missions.

I intentionally did not ask students to share their predicted themes because I wanted them to make this first attempt at theme on their own and then explore the poem without having a preconceived idea in their heads.

I sequenced major events on the board, which set the context for the poem and exploration of its theme. ![]() First Things First: Plot, Summary of Poem, Attempt at ThemeĪs a whole class, we recapped the major events from chapter five ( Where are Ponyboy and Johnny now? What has happened in the recent past?). First, let me run through what students did in class. Ultimately, students showed their level of mastery on a creative writing homework assignment (I’ve included a range of student samples below). My goal was for students to connect the poem’s theme to the novel’s recent events, which touches on the Common Core standard:Ĭ.7.2: Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text provide an objective summary of the text. ![]() I asked my seventh grade students to analyze the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost, which appears in chapter five of the novel, The Outsiders.
