Description
You're all set to cover World War I poetry with this bundle! The resource includes intro slides, a packet of analysis questions with poem texts, and a final writing assignment.
More details on the contents:
- Introductory Slides: These slides include a quick write to help students connect their prior knowledge to the topic, political context for why Britain got involved in World War I, a collection of British military recruitment posters with discussion prompts to help students understand the social pressures put on young men to enlist, effects of World War I, and biographical information about five poets representing different perspectives on the war: Rupert Brooke, Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, Jessie Pope, and Helen Hamilton.
- Analysis Questions and Poem Texts: The packet guides students to analyze eight poems by a group of writers representing diverse points of view about the war. Poems by Rupert Brooke, Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, Jessie Pope, and Helen Hamilton are included. This well-curated collection of poems helps students understand the political and social turmoil of the time.
- Writing Assignment: Students write a detailed paragraph about the poem that commanded their attention the most, providing at least three reasons supported by specific examples from the text. This is a rigorous, yet concise writing assignment that helps students recognize powerful communication techniques that have the potential to shape public opinion during tumultuous times. The instructions and rubric provide guidance about appropriate topic and concluding sentences and suggestions for aspects of the poem students could analyze. (An example explanation is included.) Two versions of the rubric are included: one with point values and one without.
