My Last Duchess by Robert Browning

This lesson was taught to a mid-weak year ten class who, whilst able to actively talk and discuss poetry were struggling to write about form, structure and language.

This series of lessons covers:
* First introduces students to the context and the background of the poem itself so as to have a good grounding before reading the poem
* Lengthy discussion of form and structure with the inclusion of scaffolding to practice writing about it (including a quite lengthy focus on aiding students to understanding iambic pentameter through the use of emojiis)
* Peer assessment when writing about form and structure, including looking at what a poor example looks like together on the board
* Guided stanza analysis to prompt students into looking at language and promoting group discussion
* Focus on the statue and its symbolism at the end of the poem
* Writing extended PEE points to include using embedded quotations

Bundle includes:
* 64 slide power point
* A* annotated copy of the poem: useful for students revision guides, including text, images and colour
