Wind in the Pines

1. Read the preface's section on the origins and classifications of wind first, then read the poems in table-of-contents order; the imagery thread will be clearer.
2. After finishing each poem, note in one sentence the emotion or function “wind” serves in that poem, then review and summarize after finishing the book.
3. Copy favorite appreciation passages into a reading and writing notebook, imitating their analytical angle to build an appreciative sense of language for your own writing.
4. Teachers can select three to five works on the same image in different circumstances for comparative reading and design a thematic lesson on imagery.
