This is a two-lesson plan for anlaysing the poem ‘This is my Throat’ plus further writing activities.
This modern Ukrainian poem is a change from studying the war poetry from World War I and is something that students can relate to as part of their personal experiences.
This resource includes:
* Teacher’s notes on the poem to aid discussion,
* Discussion points for analysing the poem as a class,
* Paired activity
* A writing task where students create the voice of a character fleeing from conflict.
There are also 5 more creative writing tasks so that teachers can extend the study of the poem and practise different writing styles.
