This PowerPoint lesson guides the class through the Boat Stealing extract from Wordsworth’s ‘The Prelude’. Contextual notes are provided on Wordsworth and the Romantics, Wordsworth’s views about poetic creativity, his work with Coleridge on Lyrical Ballads and his rootedness in Cumbria. The extract is then considered in depth for its narrative construction, the use of blank verse and the impact of the language choices. The class is invited to reflect on their learning, sharing and articulating their understanding through short writing and discussion exercises. There is also a creative task that encourages, through personal experimentation, an appreciation of the writer’s craft. Finally, the lesson closes with some guided comparison and an exam-style essay question for the OCR GCSE syllabus. 22 slides
