Hide and Seek: Edexcel IGCSE English Literature

A 15-slide PowerPoint lesson on the poem Hide and Seek by Vernon Scannell, from the Edexcel IGCSE Poetry Anthology for English Literature.

The lesson starts with a short discussion of childhood memories of playing Hide and Seek and the feelings the game provokes, followed by very brief details on Vernon Scannell.

The main part of the PP consists of 10 slides of discussion questions and suggested answers on sections of the poem which could be worked through with a class.

The last three slides focus on Language, form and structure, narration, deciding on the poem’s theme and naming other poems from the anthology which would compare with it.
