2. Support students in exploring how different materials capture or reflect light in various ways. Encourage experimentation with combinations of light, shadow, and the provided supplies to convey the imagery drawn from the selected poem.

After the Activity:

1. Review students' final compositions, sketches, and photographs. 

2. Explore a conversation of how students' compositions visually represent the imagery and themes of the poem, fostering deeper understanding and connection to the literature.
