Weeks 4-6

During these lessons we have studied:

• 'Grandfather' by Susan Hyrnkow - in this poem the voice is an adult woman who reflects back to her childhood memories of her grandfather.  By looking at both this poem and 'Grandpa' we can see the effective use of voice in a text.  We can also see the use of a motif, in this case flowers, to make associations from a recurring image.

Using a graphic organiser, we have compared these two poems in preparation for a comparative essay (see scaffold below).
