Nettles paragraph

2024-25

9A1 English

Date Due

Nov. 25, 2024

Additional Info
Please complete your 'Nettles' paragraphs using the template on the content library (page with the poem annotations). You should focus on the two quotations we analysed today ('That regiment of spite behind the shed' and 'With sobs and tears / The boy came seeking comfort and I saw / White blisters beaded on his tender skin').

  • Provide the quotation in full initially (embedded)
  • Zoom in on three aspects of each quotation
  • Technique or connotations, using analytical words like 'suggests', 'implies', 'highlights', 'emphasises'
  • At some point in your paragraph comment on why the poet has written what he has and how the reader responds (thoughts, feelings, opinions, e.g. sympathy)
  • If you can, try to include at least one more snazzy sentence.
Continue where you had started - either by hand or typed.

On Monday, we will start with a peer review before looking at our next poem.
