Bring this classic poem to life.

In Lesson 1, pupils work in groups to infer about the mysterious persona from different perspectives (police officer, schoolfriend etc) to encourage deep reading and to build a complex picture of the ambiguous speaker.

In Lesson 2, Duffy's own words about how the context inspired her and carefully selected images provide a deeper understanding of the author's intentions and the political nature of the poem.

In Lesson 3, the language is deconstructed in detail, including great examples of the effect of some poetic devices.

Each lesson has a PPT with an accompanying Word worksheet, and all the commonly required elements including L/Os and differentiation are included. It is easily editable if you wish to make it your own.

These lessons are designed to generate lots of thinking and discussions.
