This 22-slide lesson explores Mervyn Morris’ poem, ‘Little Boy Crying’.
The lesson explores Morris’ life and work before asking key questions related to parenthood, children, and perspective.
The poem’s language, form, structure, and imagery are deconstructed, with close analysis of Morris’ methods. We consider the poem’s key themes and ideas - including masculinity and violence - and think about how Morris’ choice of narrative tone and style informs the poetic vision.
Ambitious vocabulary is included to aid students with sophisticated analysis. We also consider philosophical questions raised by the poem.
An exam-style essay question is featured at the end of the lesson.
