I really like your lesson! I love the flexibility of the lesson and how open it is for 8th grade criteria. Perhaps you could narrow down the focus into certain kids of poetry such as allegory, ballad, blank verse, or conceit. Something that I really caught my attention would have to be your exceptions section. I find when I looked at some other lesson plans people forgot to add an alternative for students with exceptionalities or extenuating circumstances. Over all I must agree with the five star rating, this is a top-notch resource and I hope to use it in the future.
