Personal Technology - Part 2 (Homework Assignment)

This is the document I would have students use. I had originally planned this to be a homework assignment, but if I was going to do that, I think I would actually print out the poems themselves and give them to the students as hard copies. Or, I would do this review as an in class assignment, it which case, I could just use this electronic copy since they would each have access to a computer.
