Robert Hayden's poem "Those Winter Sundays" serves as the anchor text in a five-part instructional activity that takes the mystery out of poetry analysis by modeling explicit strategies for pupils to employ to conduct a close reading of a poem. After examining the sonic devices Hayden incorporates to reveal the relationship between the father and son, scholars craft their own memory poem or vignette using sensory images.
