This 30-slide lesson explores Linda Pastan’s poem, ‘To a Daughter Leaving Home’.
Ideal for Key Stage 3 or GCSE pupils, this lesson deconstructs Pastan’s poem of parental anxiety and letting go, paying close attention to language, imagery, form, structure, and rhyme. Students are encouraged to think about the poem’s metaphorical and allegorical significance, and questions, tasks, and discussion points are included throughout the lesson. Biographical information about Pastan and her poetry is included.
A short analytical task is included, and the lesson ends with a creative writing (poetry) activity (which could be used as a homework task).
