This 25-slide lesson explores Thom Gunn’s 'The Man with Night Sweats’.
After some key starter questions and discussion points about the AIDS epidemic, students learn about the poet’s life and context before reading the poem. A summary of the poem is included to support students’ understanding.
Questions are asked about the poem’s language and imagery, focusing crucially on the speaker’s relationship with their body. Ideas about tone, contrasts, and symbolism are explored. A detailed overview of form, structure and rhyme is also provided.
The lesson also explores the poem’s key themes, and a list of sophisticated vocabulary is given to facilitate precise analysis.
At the end of the lesson, comprehension questions and an essay-style question are included.
The lesson is saved as both an editable PowerPoint and PDF to retain aesthetic features.
