Lesson details
Key learning points
- When selecting judicious quotations, you might ask which are the most evocative to you.
- You also might ask which quotations create a sense of tone and mood.
- When using quotations, you might ask which word(s) you'd zoom in on.
- You then might explore the connotations of those word(s) and make inferences.
Keywords
Inference - a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning
Judicious - having or showing reason and good judgement in making decisions
Evocative - bringing strong images, memories or feelings to mind
Vulnerable - able to be easily hurt, influenced or attacked
Connotation - a feeling or idea that is suggested by a word in addition to its basic meaning
Common misconception
That you should select quotations by spotting methods within a poem.
While analysing methods is an important part of understanding a text, selecting quotations should focus on which word(s) create an evocative impression.
Equipment
You will need access to a copy of Andrew Forster's 'Mother, Diving'. It's available in the additional materials.
