Tissue

A PPT that enables the exploration of ‘Tissue’ in the Power and Conflict anthology.

Each student will need a copy of the poem e.g. in their anthologies.
You will need an interactive whiteboard or a screen that can be written on with the PPT as a background.

Students match up the poem’s more difficult vocab with their definitions. An extension task looks at three of these words in more depth.

There is some basic contextual information. Students could make notes on this.

The aim then is that students work in pairs or small groups to annotate the poem using a series of prompts and questions. These are contained in the file entitled ‘Tissue Stanza Questions’.

Slides 9-19 provide space for students to write their answers on the board. You could have students coming up in their groups to present their ideas to the rest of the class.
