Poetry for social analysis

The Language cell will use Chinua Achebe’s iconic poem REFUGEE MOTHER AND CHILD a a focus for this week's Lesson Study. In addition to a traditional poetry analysis there will also be discussion around issues such as poverty, malnutrition, refugees and social responsibility. A ppt with images from TIME and LIFE magazine will reinforce the central concerns. There will also be debate about the merits of foregrounding the rhino crisis as opposed to the human one. Learners will also write their personal response to the poem and the issues raised. Lesson observation to take place this week.
