  1. Topic: Writing A Personal Response To Poetry Lesson PlanClass: XI By: Mrs. Eiman Ali Subject: English Literature

  2. AIM: To enable students to; • Enjoy the reading of poetry and appreciate its contribution to aesthetic and imaginative growth • Understand and respond imaginatively to what they hear, read and experience • Explore areas of universal human concern, thus leading to a greater understanding of themselves and others

  3. Objective: Students should be able to; • Demonstrate an understanding of poetical works in ways which may range from a grasp of their surface meaning to a deeper awareness of their themes and attitudes, • Recognise and appreciate ways in which the poet uses language • Communicate a sensitive and informed personal response to what is read

  4. Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold Selected Poem:

  5. Critical Reading: • Language: Tone, style, word choice • Conventions:Punctuation, Grammar, Poetic forms • Devices:Imagery, metaphor, symbols, repetition etc • Design: Structure, organisation of content • Themes: Main Ideas

  6. Thou Shalt not be “Bogged down by the Poet’s biography unless it majorly contributes to the poem.” • Thou can be reassured, “in the examination at this level you need only show your understanding of the text, independent of the poet’s experiences.” Holy commandments :

  7. What do you grasp of the atmosphere in the first stanza? • How does the sound in the stanza contribute to it? • What changes do you notice of atmosphere and sound in the next stanzas? • What do you understand from the phrase “eternal note of sadness? Does it fit in with the imagery built up so far? • “Sea of Faith”, what do you think Arnold means by it? Pre-writing: ( personal analysis)

  8. It is generally understood that Arnold is bewailing the Lack of certainty in life. He was writing in the 19th century. Do you feel the same about life today in the 21st century? • How do you feel about Arnold’s destruction of ‘Dreams’ ? • Do you think he is realistic or pessimistic ? • Does the poet suggest any hope in the poem or any solution to what he is bewailing? Pre-writing: (empathising)

  9. What is the aim of the poet? • Does the poem succeed in conveying that aim? • How far? • What literary devices does the poet use in doing so? • What are the strengths of the poem? • Are there any weaknesses in the poem? For e.g. a flaw in the imagery etc. • In the last paragraph summarize your thoughts. Writing: Organising A personal response
