She Walks in Beauty by Lord Byron

Hello

Today you will be exploring and analysing the poem 'She Walks in Beauty' by Lord Byron.

1. Spend 15 minutes researching Lord Byron. What makes him an interesting character? Which literary period is he associated with? What are the key features of that period? What is a 'byronic hero'?

2. Read the poem carefully and annotate thoroughly. How is the woman presented? What attitudes does the speaker have towards the woman? You can use the framework for guidance or you can use the more specific questions attached here. You can choose the level you work at. Perhaps start off with the challenge and then move on to the focussed questions.

3. By the end of the lesson you need to have a summative paragraph on the speaker's attitude to the woman.

EXT: Continue your work from last week finding points of comparisons between the poems with the theme of love.

Your first focus should be on creating a summary of each poem with a focus on the different attitudes and themes considered in each poem about love.
