I love Heaney and am preparing some material to support teaching and learning of his poems. My issue is: where to start?
The introduction screencast is based on SCASI and ensuring that students are happy with the idea of connotation. Elsewhere on the site I have used the same poem in a discussion of unseen poetry for IGCSE. That version is more engaged with textual discussion.
I hope that this introduction will work at most levels as a flipping tool or as a model for class delivery.
The powerpoints are here:

Dear Jonathan,
thanks so much for this site – it’s very useful! The powerpoint for Mid-Term Break doesn’t have a link to it – is it possible to put it back on the page?
Many thanks, Lucy
Try it now…. I can see it and have just refreshed it.
