This 20-slide lesson explores Dennis Scott’s poem, ‘Marrysong’.
Students are encouraged to consider the concept of marriage - both literally and symbolically. Scott’s life and work is introduced and then we delve into the poem itself.
The lesson pays close attention to Scott’s use of language, imagery, form, structure, and rhythm. Scott’s use of extended metaphor and cartographic imagery is analysed. The poem’s key themes and ideas are deconstructed, with ambitious vocabulary provided to equip students for sophisticated analysis. Students are also prompted to reflect on the poem’s tone and overall message.
At the end of the lesson is an exam-style question on the poem.
