A set of 16 lesson slides focusing on six short, accessible Romantic poems as an introductory poetry unit suitable for Year 7-8.
The SOW includes:
- 16 lessons, with structured powerpoints for all lessons
- Resources for all lessons included in the powerpoints
- A suggestion at the start of each powerpoint about how to deliver the lesson and adapt it up / down depending on the ability of your class
- Lessons on context
- A gradual building up to students analysing poems and writing analytical response independently
- A focus on key ideas in the poems, poetic techniques, the Romantic context and comparison
- A booklet including all of the poems
- Included in the poetry booklet: simple homework tasks suggestions
- A final assessment task
The SOW does not include a separate planning document with an overview of all lessons.
Learning objectives are framed as questions for almost all lessons, and a variety of tasks are included to support adaptive teaching and inclusion of all students.
Poems include:
- A Birthday - Rossetti
- Hope is a Thing With Feathers - Dickinson
- Lucy - Wordsworth
- Sonnet 43 - Browning
- Pleasure in the Pathless Wood - Byron
- The Moon… - Dickinson
- Daffodils - Wordsworth (included for optional independent study / stretch but no lesson included)
- A Poison Tree - Blake (included for optional independent study / stretch but no lesson included)
The poems are suitably simple as to enable access and enjoyment on a surface level, but also complex enough to challenge the interpretive thinking of more able students, particularly when making the connection to the Romantic context.
