The aim of this lesson was to consider the use of metaphor in the three poems that were introduced in the last session. Students were placed in groups to discuss how metaphor is used by each author to shape meaning. Students were also asked to consider how form and structure allows the author to shape meaning and present key ideas.
Homework: Read the opening chapters of The Great Gatsby and keep reading Wordsworth/Marvell/Heaney as the more you read, the more you will perceive!! Tomorrow we will begin our assault on Fitzgerald's fine novel. We will discuss the structure of your first essay in tomorrow's lesson. The magic word is rhubarb. Bring this word with you tomorrow.
