You give each student a post-it as they come in; they read a new poem silently and then write their name and an open ended question linked to language devices, structure or context (just to get them started) on the post-it.  While they are getting logged on, you then pass out the post-its and they follow the instructions on the slide, continuing to email back and forth.  I gave my weaker students the question prompts sheets (which you’d have to adapt slightly to be relevant to the poem you’re focusing on) to help them to ask slightly more elevated questions.  They finish, as it says on the slide, by emailing you so that you can check their work. Rewards are given based on effort and depth of questioning. Success…
