A PowerPoint presentation packed full of images, word clusters, vocabulary and poetic techniques, designed to help differentiate the poem “Walking Away” (Cecil Day Lewis, 1956) for learners who are struggling with the poem.
Part of the AQA Love and Relationships poetry bundle, you can find a fantastic FREE example of one of these resources “Eden Rock”.
If you enjoyed this resource, you can also find the AQA 19th century poetry bundle here. Included is a FREE sample “When We Two Parted”.
The presentation breaks the poem down by stanza, illustrating some of the key ideas, moods or themes of each stanza using relatable images.
The presentation then follows with a vocabulary check-list, contextualising some of the more difficult words in each stanza.
There are then two slides designed to aid student understanding of the poem. One slide groups similar words into themed banks (ie, emotive words, sad words, happy words etc) whilst the other slide groups words by poetic technique (Pathetic fallacy etc)
The presentation can be used as a classroom aid to improve whole-group understanding of the poem and as a prompt to get students thinking about the poem in an analytical way.
It slots in seamlessly with any pre-planned lessons.
Upgrade from the free edition with this premium bundle, which includes a set of pre-made “drama” (48 different outcomes) 72 English quiz cards (Jane Eyre, Macbeth, Lord of the Flies and general knowledge) and a blank question template that lets you easily tailor the game to your own specialist subject.
