For my poetry centers, I print them on cardstock and laminate for durability. Once I cut them out, I hole punch the top corner and attach them to a book ring. This makes them super easy to include with my poetry center / poetry activities.
Students then take the ring of questions out and continue their poetry work by asking each other the questions.

Students in grades 3-6 used the cards to wrap up our poetry study. They worked cooperatively to respond to 6 cards of their choosing. We then discussed as a class. The students liked when their group had the same thoughts as another group or totally had a different take from another group. They enjoyed supporting their reasoning while knowing that everyone can interpret poems differently.
Hey Little Lumieres –
