A thematic lesson exploring key quotes, literary devices, and meanings behind Fleur Adcock's poem. Slides with the poem are annotated by stanza with colour-coded, easy to read commentary and explanations. Powerpoint also includes reflection on reasons why teenagers choose to rebel. Lesson ends with application task: using knowledge gained to explain how the poem affects the reader. Although this lesson was put together for an IGCSE Literature class, the lesson can be used with upper KS3, KS4, and EdExcel classes.
