Your scholars will be hooked after reading the cryptic narrative poem "The Listeners." They explain why it is so mysterious, then use the poem to learn about pronouns. Learners read an excerpt from the poem that has been altered to not include pronouns, discussing why it seems repetitive. Then, they underline all the pronouns in the poem and rewrite sentences by changing nouns to pronouns. This is a great way to show writers the importance of variation within sentences using pronouns.
