Use a picture to create interest in a poem (or other work of literature).
In this example, we'll use William Blake's poem, The Tyger

First, ask your learners to share their knowledge about tigers:
- where do they live?
- what do they eat?
- why are they an endangered species?
- has anyone seen one in a zoo? or in the wild?
- what adjectives would you use to describe a tiger?
​
Now introduce the poem's first stanza:

Tyger Tyger, burning bright, 
In the forests of the night; 
What immortal hand or eye, 
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?​

Perhaps focus on the adjectives for some discussion: bright, immortal, fearful
