My Name is Mina Lesson 2: The Schoolboy

This year 7 lesson on My Name is Mina explores William Blake’s poem The Schoolboy. Students make connections between themes in chapter 2 and the poem.

This lesson follows on directly from my other free resource for lesson 1 of My Name is Mina, and is part of a complete scheme of work. The resource includes a PowerPoint lesson slides with links to the relevant videos in the slide notes sections, as well as a PDF of Blake’s poem The Schoolboy.

The lesson was originally created as a cover lesson, and therefore would need adapting to include more teacher involvement. Alternatively, use it as a fully independent lesson for students.
