The Lady of Shalott - Part Four Worksheet

The worksheet, designed for an English teaching resource, delves into Part Four of "The Lady of Shalott." Students are prompted to answer a series of questions based on the text, requiring them to respond in full sentences. The questions are crafted to encourage a detailed exploration of the poem's final part, asking students to analyze the actions of the Lady in the opening verse, including the significance of the italicized last line. Further inquiries prompt learners to identify the time of day the Lady reaches Camelot, the nature of the song she sings, and the events that unfold in the second and third verses.

In addition to these comprehension questions, the worksheet invites students to explain the manner of the Lady's death and the journey her boat takes thereafter. The final question encourages a comparative analysis, asking students to consider the reaction of Sir Lancelot upon seeing the Lady and how his response differs from that of the other knights. This worksheet is a tool to deepen students' understanding of the narrative and thematic elements of the poem, as well as to assess their ability to interpret and articulate their insights into the text.
