As the students enter the video of The Hunchback of Notre Dame from 1939 starring Charles Laughton. It is the scene where the hunchback saves Ezmerelda from being hung and where he talks about his disability.
After watching the clip LH introduces the idea of intertextuality as the film is based on the Victor Hugo's novel of the same title.
LO: To explore Duffy's intentions in this poem "Mrs Quasimodo".
Feminism - female experience at the centre of the text. Why she has done this? Because we have lived under 2000 years of patriarchy.The world and his wife suggests the world is male, so Duffy has punned this phrase to title the her anthology The World's Wife.
Campanologist is a bell ringer, arpeggio, epithalamion is a wedding song, stretti means close together.
LH reiterates that there is a guide to every poem on the student's blog.
LH reads the poem to the students.
When looking at the three texts you will be looking at relationships, power, jealousy, marriage, power, betrayal, and social expectations to write your coursework on. http://www.sheerpoetry.co.uk/advanced/carol-ann-duffy/notes-on-selected-poems-advanced/mrs-quasimodo
The students then look at the poem in terms of Form, Structure and Language as well as the following questions: what happens in the poem? Is this poem in free verse or can you spot a rhyming pattern? What symbolism does Duffy use in this poem and why? What tone do you think this poem is intended to establish.
LH has spent 30 mins out of the 60 introducing the poem and is giving the students 20 minutes to do their own interpretation of the poem. After 5 mins LH asks for feedback from the first question and there is dialogue between student and LH for the remainder of the lesson.
LH then asks the what type of woman does Duffy portray here.
LH asks the students to read the notes on the blog before next lesson.
