This 21-slide explores Rosemary Dobson’s poem, ‘The Three Fates’.
The lesson encourages students to consider ideas of fate, discussing the role of the Three Fates in Greek mythology. Dobson’s life and work is also introduced.
The poem is read and students give their first impressions, before delving into close linguistic analysis. Dobson’s use of imagery, form, structure, and rhyme is then deconstruction.
Students are taught the key themes of the poem, and equipped with ambitious vocabulary to allow for sophisticated analysis. We then debate how we might describe the tone of the poem.
Questions and discussion points are included throughout the lesson. An exam-style essay question is featured at the end.
