The Blind
Men and
the
Elephant
by John
Godfrey
Saxe
UKDs
Rereading because on
the first read through,
I dont think the
students will
understand the depth
of the poem. On the
second read, I want
them to focus
specifically on
figurative language
and its effect on the
understanding of the
poem, picking out the
most effective one.
Follow-up/Writing
Activity
Write a poem
mimicking Saxes
poem using a
different animal or
an object, using
figurative language
to describe the
different parts.
