A complete lesson to help guide students’ annotation and analysis of ‘The Tyger’ by William Blake. Introduces them to the problem of evil and suffering proposed by the poem. Designed with the Edexcel iGCSE English Literature exam in mind, but also useful for other speccifcations, as a stand-alone poetry lesson, or a follow on from studying ‘The Lamb.’
The annotations for each stanza are in the notes section of the slides to enable differentiation and offer explanation and analysis of the religious references and allusions throughout the poem.
Useful for my own notes/annotations but PowerPoint needs adapting not enough for a full lesson.

I am glad it was useful, and sorry that this did not provide you with enough scope for a full lesson. There is a certain amount of teacher explanation and class discussion expected for the ideas raised and annotations provided. I also annotate the stanzas on the board with the class (using the notes provided in this resource) and the response question would usually take my pupils 25 minutes. This resource would therefore normally give me two lessons. Of course I would encourage all teachers to adapt resources to suit their own classes.
