When someone says “Forward,” you don’t ask questions, you ride into literary legend. This two-page activity gallops into Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s thunderous tribute to bravery, blunder, and the power of poetic form. With guided analysis and TPCAST related questions, students will explore how repetition, rhythm, and tone immortalize a doomed cavalry charge, and how honor and horror ride side by side. Perfect for British Lit units, poetry analysis, or “Let’s talk about courage and catastrophe” days
