For homework, my students had to read the poem "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus about the Statue of Liberty -- the poem with the line, "give me your tired, your hungry, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..."
I gave them a quick 5 question quiz on the poem (I had warned them yesterday).
Question #1: What is the title of the poem?
Question #2: Who is the author of the poem?
You have no idea how many kids had absolutely no clue what the answer to either of those questions was.
