The document provides instructions for students to create a "window reading response" to analyze a poem. It instructs students to place three quotes from the poem around the edges of a frame with pictures representing each quote in the center. Below each picture, students must explain how the image relates to the quote. Guidelines specify the response must be colorful, on unlined paper, have related images to citations, include the poem's title and poet, and have correct citation format.
