This 28-slide lesson explores James Reeves’ poem, ‘The Sea’.
This poem is a brilliant example of extended metaphor and poetic craft; it is a beloved staple of many Key Stage 3 poetry lessons.
The lesson deconstructs Reeves’ use of metaphor and other linguistic techniques, paying attention to the poem’s rhyme and rhythm too. Biographical information about Reeves is provided, as well as a series of questions, discussion points, and tasks for students.
Students are asked to write a short analytical response to the poem, and an exemplar response is included in the PowerPoint.
The lesson ends with a creative writing (poetry) task that could be used either as a homework activity or class-based task.
This lesson is ideal for KS3 pupils, but could be used for GCSE pupils - especially those who find poetry challenging.
