This 25-slide lesson explores Tennyson’s poem, ‘The Eagle’.
The lesson includes a zoological, historical and mythological overview of eagles, considering their connotations and status in various cultures, as well as biographical information on Tennyson. Students are presented with numerous questions, tasks, and discussion points to analyse Tennyson’s poem. Close attention is paid to Tennyson’s language and technique.
Students are tasked with an analytical response to the poem (an exemplar paragraph is included) before the lesson ends on a creative writing activity (which could be used as a homework task).
This lesson is ideal for KS3, but could be used to help GCSE (particularly SEND) students with poetry too.
