It is absolutely possible to misunderstand poetry. (Not saying you did that)
- yifanl 8y agoEven if you misunderstand the intent of the author, you can give a well-reasoned interpretation. From what I remember of the standardized tests, they were either more interested in marking the structure of the content than the content itself, or looking for keywords and marking off a checklist. To the snarky cynic in me, this might be good training for resume-writing, but not really how you want to teach your high school students to be good at creative interpretation.
