Mini KBARR Response Demo: 
"Delinquent" by Langston Hughes.

a) Read the definitions of the word delinquent. Read the poem. Read it again.
b) Respond to the poem in your notebook; at least three sentences or so. Be sure to put title (of the poem) and date, just as you should for KBAR.  Here are some things to think about:

What's his point?

c) Check responses against rubric.
