Danger! Scholars look closely at two poems, 'TV News' and 'Closed Too Soon.' While reading, learners think about Ha's country's increasing dangers and conflict. They record their thoughts in graphic organizers and discuss what details from the text led them to their thoughts. They finalize their thinking by answering a question as an exit ticket.
