7 What do you think juxtaposition is?
After seeing the photographs, discuss with your group: What do you think juxtaposition is? We will share in 2 minutes.

8 Juxtaposition is… placing close together or side by side,  especially for comparison or contrast.

9 READ the following poems as a group “The Seed-Merchant’s Son by Agnes Grozier Herbertson and “Flowers” by Dennis Roy Craig For each poem, decide a) what is being juxtaposed? b) where in the poem is there a “shift” in ideas? c) What effect does the juxtaposition have on the poem?

Each group will be divided in half. Half of the group will write FIRST WORLD PROBLEM couplets, and the other half will write THIRD WORLD PROBLEM COUPLETS We will put them all together at the end to make a poem! (Couplet: a pair of successive lines of verse, especially a pair that rhyme and are of the same length) An example:

16 Your tasks: Write a rhyming couplet of either two first world problems OR two third world problems. Write them on your colored sheets of paper Miss. U’s example: I got a stomach ache from all the free samples at the store Then I texted so fast that my fingers got sore 2. As a group, decide how you are going to juxtapose these couplets. (How do you want to join them together?) 3. Tape your poem together. 4. Work together to give your poem a title. Write the title on another colored sheet of paper and tape it to the top of your poem.
