A fully-resourced and engaging lesson on Search for My Tongue by Sujata Bhatt, designed for the Edexcel IGCSE English Literature (4ET1) Poetry Anthology. This lesson supports students in exploring themes of identity, language, and cultural belonging, with a particular focus on Bhatt’s vivid use of imagery and bilingual structure. Includes contextual material, group analysis, a PETAL-style writing task, and reflective homework on code-switching and personal identity. Perfect for first teaching or revision.
Lesson Features and Content:
Personal Reflection Starter: Students begin by reflecting on the experience of losing or reclaiming a language, skill, or cultural habit — helping them engage with the poem’s central themes.
Contextual Slide on Sujata Bhatt: A concise introduction to Bhatt’s life, background, and poetic focus on bilingualism, identity, and heritage.
Guided First Reading & Comprehension: Questions guide students through key ideas: the conflict between the “foreign tongue” and the “mother tongue,” and the emotional impact of losing and reclaiming one’s first language.
Collaborative Group Task: Students work in groups to analyse different aspects of the poem (e.g., imagery, structure, language choices), annotate together, and share insights with the class.
Analytical Writing Practice: Students write a PETAL paragraph in response to the question: How does Bhatt use imagery and language to show the importance of her mother tongue? Includes example sentence stems to support developing writers.
Homework Reflection on Code-Switching: Students explore their own experience of shifting between languages, dialects, or registers, encouraging personal engagement with the poem’s themes.

This file contains three word-searches, and have been created using words which students would have become familiar with during their lessons about the changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age. There is a printable sheet for the pupils and a solution sheet highlighting the sixteen words in each puzzle for the teacher. To make the words easier to locate on the solution sheet I have highlighted the first letter of each word in yellow, or orange when the letter begins two words running in different directions.
