The life and times of Emily Dickinson

Working in pairs, you will follow the instructions on the process page answering the questions on the handout by following the links provided to the appropriate websites and pages. You will have the entire lesson for this task which is to be completed for home work if necessary.

As you research this topic I want you to keep in mind the differences between the audience of Dickinson's time and you, the audience of today, considering how these differences affect your reaction to the poem. We will discuss these ideas in our next lesson.
