Blake - The Ecchoing Green - Songs of Innocence and Experience - Lesson 3

This is my third lesson on William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience for AQA A Level English Literature. This lesson focuses on applying key aspects of the 'Songs' to the poem. Specifically, students look at the representation of spring, the village green, and the importance of play in the poem. They also reflect on the presentation of authority and are prompted to compare to poems I already taught (Introduction and The Shepherd).
