This lesson is a post analysis/reading lesson. It was a lesson I used for my observation, I have included my observation planning sheet; a self-reflection assessment sheet (differentiated) and the lesson itself (PowerPoint) this includes group analysis/individual analysis tasks, preparing pupils to attempt an analysis assessment. You will need a copy of the poem itself, otherwise all resources are included. This lesson is not a reading/poetry analysing lesson, it is a lesson that should be used after you have read through/analysed Belfast confetti and you are preparing/aiding your class in reading assessment practice.
