Yes, there is a video for adding line numbers to Word or Google Docs in the folder as well ).     

STEP 3- Complete a poetry focus statement for your poem (title, author, tones, narrative situation, theme). This focus statement/thesis will go at the top of your T-chart. Yes, you may bring it to me to review in tutoring.
