Designed to accompany the Robert Frost poetry anthology for CIE AS English, but will be appropriate for any senior study of the poem The Cow in Apple-Time.
The lesson first encourages students to make inferences about fables through a picture starter. Students then consider key features of fables, so as to later evaluate the poem in light of these features.
The main part of the lesson then asks students to identify the speaker and situation, and gives key vocabulary that will be useful when analysing the poem. Students then annotate the poem for technique and evaluate it as either a fable or a parable, deciding on the possible messages contained within the poem. Suggested relevant contextual information is also supplied. As a plenary, students demonstrate their knowledge of the poem and the tone used by Frost within it by completing a targeted, scaffolded essay paragraph about the moral message of the poem.
Blank and annotated copies of the poem are also supplied.
