A poetry analysis lesson using "Dover Beach" by Matthew Arnold. Includes a Word document explaining how to use the lesson, as well as a PowerPoint slideshow that walks through an analysis of the poem.
I use this particular poem with my 10 Honors English students when we are reading Fahrenheit 451 (because "Dover Beach" shows up in the novel).
The lesson could be used with any higher-level learners.
The method behind the lesson can be adapted to different poems and different levels of learner.
Thank you, this activity is just what I needed to inform, yet challenge my tenth graders. Look forward to buying from you again!

12 years in public school teaching, primarily 10th grade English, 10th grade Honors English, 12th grade AP English, IB English, and Creative Writing courses. I have also taught 9th grade, 9th grade Honors, and 11th grade English courses. In addition to the standard and honors courses, I have taught as an inclusion team teacher and I have taught summer school remediation courses. I have taught in both traditional year-long 7-period (50 minute) schedules as well as 4x4 (88 minute) block scheduling and year-long (88 minute) A/B block scheduling. I am trained by the International Baccalaureate Organization and the College Board. My CW students have taken first place in the VHSL state writing competition on two separate occasions. Our literary magazine has won every major state and national award.
