This powerpoint includes detailed contextual information linked to the text. Close analysis of language, form and structure through both ‘given slides’ and task driven learning. This resource also includes a non fiction reading extract for additional background on the use of the word ‘Raven’ so comprises elements of the skills required in the English Language exam. This lesson would work well as an introduction to the poem and a revision lesson. Challenge tasks are threaded throughout. The lesson ends with a ‘comparison quiz’ and revision challenge task.
