  1. Your butterfly is visually appealing. It is simple but the images have a lot of meaning to it, and they are for sure used to connect to the poem. You did a great job using direct quotes from the poem for all your tags. You added so many parts to your poem, some that people wouldn't even consider, such as the piece of bread in, "A hungry dove will peck for bread." I also liked how you had meaning for the color of your building. At first I thought you chose the dark red because it is what the building were actually like but it actually shows the mood of the poem. Great job with your butterfly and tags.

  2. Steven, I think your butterfly is one of the most neat butterflies I have seen. I really liked how you added the the wagon on the side of the road, I think that it was a very accurate picture of how the ghettos looked after everyone had left. The street, which you drew, which symbolized "the street of death". Do you think that he meant like the marches to different places in the camp, or the ride from the ghetto to the first camp? I liked how you added the leaning buildings, I think that not only is it eyesore, but you used them to show the people were weary and were falling emotionally. Great Job!

  3. The butterfly is amazing and it is a great visual representation of "The Closed Town". When reading your tags I noticed that you did include textual evidence, but you didn't have as much interpretation within the tags. I recommend that you add more of your reasoning towards the poem and the affect it had on your butterfly. The reason behind each color and structure truly ties in with your poem. The main detail I like about your project is that you were able to find the exact colors that match "The Closed Town." The thing that makes your butterfly unique is that it includes actual photos of World War II that ties in with your interpretation of the quotes. In your tags you forgot to mention the Terezin concentration camp and specific facts about this particular camp.I think that overall you did great, but just fix your reasoning. Great Butterfly Project.

  4. I really like how your butterfly is simple and neat. It is simple but neat and easy to understand what you wanted to focus on and the main details. Even though your butterfly was not as extravagant as some of the other ones all the little details you added had a lot of meaning to them. When I first saw your butterfly I really didn't understand what some of the details meant but after reading your tags I understood what all the details meant and what you trying to explain. You also incorporated your details in a creative way a way that I would not initially think of. Like how you colored the ground brown I thought you colored it brown just because. I didn't think it actually meant something or had something to do with your poem. I really liked your butterfly great job

  5. Steven you did a good job with interpreting. It really fits the poem. Also, I like the placement of the Nazi March picture, in the street where it occurred. Also I liked how you had one side have the lights on and the other without lights. Then you gave a quote to show why you did so. Overall you did a good job in interpreting and drawing.

  6. Dear Steven,

    Steven your butterfly was different then other's. You showed the then and after of the war, most of the other butterflies just showed what was going on during he war. I especially liked the part were you explain why you put the "hearse", you talk about how it is empty and full. It shows that you understood your poem. Overall your butterfly was well thought out and simple, but it really expressed your poem.
