This is a lesson about Simon Armitage's The Clown Punk, suitable for SEN classes or low / middle ability groups from year 8 - 10. This includes a 50 slide Power Point presentation, printable writing support for slow writers, a copy of the poem with space for annotation, a printable paragraph writing frame and a custom made word search.
The lesson focuses on the concept of archetypes, examines the context of the themes in the poem and the poet, provides step-by-step analysis of meaning, allows students time to locate and identify poetic devices, gives an example of a successful analysis paragraph, and has students compose their own piece of writing, before peer assessing, reflecting on peer assessment, and re-drafting their writing. Progress check's are included throughout.
This can be scaled up for more able classes by removing the writing frames and additional support handouts.
