What’s Included:
Interactive Lesson Presentation: A visually engaging slide deck that guides students through the literal and metaphorical meanings of the poem. Includes starter activities on the symbolism of tattoos, guided annotations, and deep-dive discussions on Kooser’s use of imagery.
Structured P.E.A. Grids: Scaffolding worksheets that help students deconstruct the poem’s key quotes. These grids provide a clear framework for analysing past vs. present imagery, physical strength vs. old age, and the poem’s emotional “blue” ending.
Basics of Essay Writing – Gap-Fill Exercise: A unique, classroom-tested “model essay” template. This resource allows students to practice using academic signposting and structural links while deciding on their own analytical interpretations for the gaps.
Thematic Focus: The lesson explores complex themes of the passing of time, masculinity, fragility, and the “stories” we carry on our skin.
