This product will allow your students to easily understand and analyze Tupac Shakur's "The Rose That Grew From Concrete" by breaking it down line-by-line!

Instruct your students to fold the paper in half the long way, and to cut along the black lines into the midline of the paper. They will end up with a long, skinny version of the poem on the front of the flaps, and analysis question inside.

As they read the poem, they will peel back the flap to reveal questions that ask them to analyze the poem for theme, symbolism, tone, mood, characterization, syntax, and metaphor. This poem works well paired with The House on Mango Street, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, the work of Angie Thomas, etc.

This foldable includes an answer key! Please ask if you have any questions!
