This is a series of three/four consecutive lessons on poetry for the War and Conflict thematic cluster.
The lessons centre around one poem - Simon Armitage's 'Out of the Blue.'
This poem breaks away from the WW1 poetry, offering students a modern poem, centralising war and conflict in terms of the 9/11 disaster and the attacks that occurred in New York on September 11th.
The lesson considers higher level poetic techniques, including the consideration of Armitage's structural effects and exploration of other sophisticated features - this can be differentiated to accommodate both middle and lower ability students, also.
After a series of mini tasks and questions throughout the first couple of lessons, this mini scheme reminds students of the skills required inside a poetic, analytical response, and allows students to write up all of their findings to produce a GCSE style response.
