This work pack provides a clear, structured approach to teaching and analysing Imtiaz Dharker’s Blessing at KS3. It is designed to help students move from identifying basic poetic devices to confidently analysing sensory imagery, metaphor, and the poem’s deeper themes around inequality and the value of water.
The resource includes:
• A sensory imagery activity helping students explore how Dharker engages sight, sound, and touch to create vivid realism
• A metaphor-focused task using the tenor/vehicle/relationship model to unpack Dharker’s symbolic language
• Close-analysis questions that guide students through connotations, writer’s methods, and the poem’s emotional impact
• Retrieval and comprehension questions to secure understanding of key ideas
• A scaffolded analytical paragraph frame with sentence starters to support extended writing
• Clear, structured tasks that build analytical confidence and support strong written outcomes
