A lesson examining Duffy’s poem Medusa. Suited to upper Ks3 or lower ks4; updated March 2022.
Begins by introducing Medusa as a historical myth before looking at a crunched version of the poem to consider language out of context. Pupils then search for techniques in the poem and consider their effect. There is an opportunity for annotation and first impressions, followed by some suggested annotations written on the poem. Finally there is a writing frame, a quote hunt and a more lighthearted task where they create a dating profile for Duffy’s character.
Great as an introduction for approaching unseen poems or as part of a wider poetic study in preparation for GCSE Literature.
