Includes tasks such as definition hunts; quotation analysis and thinking questions regarding the poem as a whole.
Works well in a lesson in which the teacher plays the role of a police officer ‘investigating’ the Duke. (I bought a police badge and police stickers from Amazon to get students in the mood)

Poem - Simon Armitage - Unseen poem
Here is a standalone unseen poetry lesson based on Simon Armitage’s Poem.
For the most impact when teaching this lesson, it is recommended that you open the analysis with paper covering all but the first three lines of the poem - then as the lesson progresses move the paper so more of the poem is exposed. This allows for students to alter their opinions of the poem as it progresses.
This lesson was graded outstanding within internal QA processes.
