2024-25

8S English

Date Due

Dec. 10, 2024

Additional Info
To help prepare you for your extended writing next Tuesday, please take some time to look back through your annotations on Nichols' poem 'Island Man'. You will be writing in response to the question Explore how Nichols presents ideas about home in 'Island Man'.
Three things to do:
  • Consider what your one word is that summarises the poem (think about the mood/tone).
  • What is the poem about on the surface?
  • What big ideas/themes is the poet trying to explore (see Lit Charts page on OneNote)?
You are going to write an introduction, two main paragraphs and a conclusion. I will put instructions and guidance on the board as you write.
