Lesson details
Key learning points
- Analysing model answers allows us to explore how we might frame ideas and how to avoid misconceptions.
- To effectively analyse quotations, we need to explain how we have reached our conclusions.
- An effective conclusion summarises the argument and gestures to what it might say about society.
- A personal response may reflect on how the meaning of the poem relates to the reader and wider society.
Keywords
Transience - the state or fact of lasting only for a short time
Ephemeral - lasting for a very short time
Ambiguous - something unclear or vague which is open to more than one possible interpretation
Impermanence - the state or fact of lasting for only a limited period of time
Common misconception
That personal responses involve making guesses about the writer's context and state of mind.
Personal responses consider how and why a poem might create a certain emotion in the reader or what they say about society in general.
Equipment
You will need a copy of Michael Laskey’s ‘Nobody’ and Robin Robertson’s ‘Donegal’ which are available in the additional materials.
