A lesson designed to teach the poem The Deliverer by Tishani Doshi for the Edexcel A level Literature qualification.
The lesson begins with a video covering the abandonment of female children in India and then provides information on the Indian caste system. There is a group language analysis ‘jigsaw’ task, for which a separate worksheet with a set of instructions is provided.
Following this, students can engage in a simple activity where they match elements of form and structure to their definitions, and then explore these features in the poem, commenting on their effects.
Activities and a simple table are provided for the comparison of The Deliverer to either Child Burial by Paula Meehan or Refugee Mother and Child by Chinua Achebe as unseen poems.
Due to copyright, the text of neither poem is supplied but they are easily sourced online. A warning that both poems contain sensitive subject matter and are very emotionally hard-hitting.
