  5. Bannockburn, by Robert Burns The Poem

  6. Told you it was an exciting voice!

  7. Like this one? This is a structure Structure

  8. Structure in Bannockburn • 8 verses • Of 4 lines • Gets the information across… • …without being too boring! And to prove that English is Cross-Curricular, here’s some maths: 8 x 4 = 23 Though, naturally, no one ever finds poetry boring! Oh, wait… Blame that guy, he programmed me to do that!

  9. Rhyme Schemes • Lines 1, 2 and 3 • At Bannockburn the English lay, The Scots, they were na far away, but waited for the break of day… • Last line of each verse (from v. 3) • Victorie • Slaverie • Flee • Me • (More about rhyme schemes coming up!)

  10. Word-Level Analysis Use of Words

  11. More Rhymes! Very nice, Harvey… • Rhyming is a key part of the poem’s…Scottish-ness! • Burns probably made this happen deliberately! Thank you, Harvey!

  12. Other Important Words • Chains and Slaverie – imprisonment, being under others’ commands! Not very good! “By your sons in servile chains…” • Liberty - freedom…and losing it. Negative Persuasion coupled with glorious images!

  13. Hallelujah Chorus take 2! Full-Context Analysis

  14. Language Features • Rhetorical Questions! “Wha’ will be a traitor knave? Wha’ can fill a coward’s grave? Wha’ sae base as be a slave?...”

  15. Back in the day… • When was it written? “…his heralds thus addressed…” • Small clues!

  16. … Reading Between the Lines

  17. …which it’s likely it did: some of the reason, at least! What was he thinking!? • Why this one? • Scotland won! • Scotland thrashed England…anything changed? • Should it matter when it was, if it was such a great victory? • Burns was proud! • Patriotism Scotland never win anything, really!
