A (2 hour) lesson guiding Y10 students (top set) through an approach to exploring, analysing and responding to an unseen poem - The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.
The lesson addresses the question: ‘Can I analyse language and structure in an unseen poem, learning a strategy to respond to an unseen poetry exam question?’
Students are working towards the question: In ‘The Road Not Taken’, how does the poet present the speaker’s feelings about choice?
Groups of students are given a particular stanza to focus on independently and then feedback their ideas as the teacher makes notes on the board (I have left some of the answers my students delivered on the slides FYI).
The next task focuses on an exemplar response, where students will construct their own paragraph responding to the question and utilising their annotated poem to support them.
Resource includes Powerpoint, lesson plan, exemplar paragraph word doc and a word doc displaying the poem and question.
