Bruce Dawe 'Abandonment of Autos' Annotated Poem

Used with a Preliminary Standard English class for the concept study of 'Consumerism' together with other selected poems by Dawe. These are quite simple annotations as some of the students in my class struggle considerably with poetic techniques as well as with general literary analysis. Set up with animations, highlighted parts of text and arrows to accompanying notes, 33 slides in total but many are because of animations and line by line highlighting.

Introduction to Module B: Close Study of Text - 'War Poems' Wilfred Owen

A brief PowerPoint presentation that introduces students to the module. Contains a brief outline of Paper 2. Outlines which poems will be studied, a very brief breakdown of the 2015 HSC Module B question and an accompanying worksheet on techniques. Designed for students who are not confident or familiar with poetic techniques or the course structure.

This took an entire one hour lesson with a very good year twelve class. I gave each student an A3 copy of the poem and they copied the annotations from this PowerPoint. The PowerPoint is complete with animations and highlighted text. All annotations highlight techniques and have brief explanations. There are many annotations and students will not be able to fit them handwritten on a regular A4 page. It is highly recommended that if you are going to have students copy these that an A3 page is much more practical. I hope this saves you the three (possibly four - I'd rather not know!) hours that it took for me to make it :)
