Designed to accompany the CIE Robert Frost poetry anthology for AS English, but will be appropriate for any senior study of the poem Mowing.
This lesson (intended to be taught over two periods, though can be condensed into one) introduces students to the idea of the pastoral using a starter word-match activity. It then encourages students to consider Frost's poetry in light of a critical quotation, suggests useful vocabulary and appropriate language techniques necessary for studying the poem, identifies the speaker and situation, sets comprehension questions and prompts students to evaluate the poem as pastoral according to the definitions established at the beginning of the lesson.
The second lesson then moves on to close analysis, encouraging students to demonstrate their learning through a response paragraph activity which can be peer checked.
A blank and annotated copy of the poem are also included with this resource.
