Designed to accompany the Robert Frost poetry anthology for CIE AS English, but will be appropriate for any senior study of the poem ‘An Unstamped Letter…’.
Students first listen to the teacher reading the poem to identify the speaker and situation, and work through comprehension questions to guide their subsequent analysis. The lesson progresses by glossing some unfamiliar vocabulary and then suggesting key vocabulary that students can copy down and use in their analysis. Students consider structure and characterisation carefully, and then annotate the poem for technique as a whole class.
After annotating the poem, students consider the significance of the epiphany and the dramatic, epistolary nature of the poem.
As a plenary, students write a scaffolded paragraph responding to the narrator of the poem. Lastly, students apply the relevant contextual and critical information about Frost and his poetry that they have learned previously.
Blank and annotated copies of the poem are supplied in this resource.
