The Lady of Shalott - Lesson 2 - Setting Worksheet 2

This educational resource provides a worksheet designed to deepen students' understanding of setting within poetry, specifically focusing on "The Lady of Shalott." The task begins by asking students to study the descriptive language found in the first two verses of the poem. They are then presented with a selection of images and must determine which picture most closely aligns with the setting as depicted in the poem's text. This requires them to critically analyse the poem and use specific textual evidence to justify their choice, demonstrating their comprehension and analytical skills.

Following the analytical exercise, the worksheet encourages students to engage creatively with the poem by drawing their own interpretation of the scene described. They are instructed to illustrate their personal vision of the setting, adding a layer of personal engagement with the text. To complement their artwork, students must label their drawing with words directly taken from the poem, linking their visual representation with the poet's language. This activity not only fosters a deeper connection with the literary work but also aids in expanding the students' vocabulary and understanding of poetic description.
