A PowerPoint presentation packed full of images, word clusters, vocabulary and poetic techniques, designed to help differentiate the poem “Neutral Tones” (Thomas Hardy, 1898) for learners who are struggling with the poem.
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.
