Designing a lesson plan in an English Language teaching context implies

searching for the most suitable methods, activities, context and materials for the
lesson. It also implies considering your audience, their level, and the skills to develop.
Different methods such the Presentation, Practice and Production method.

Different methods have been used in English Language Teaching under the
premises of developing students skills for the purpose of making its adquisition
meaningful without including literature. Each of them with their own set of ideas on
how the target language should be introduced in the classroom, ignoring literature and
its potential for the ELT context. A literary genre such as poetry has multiple uses
within an English Language Teaching context : it can be used to introduce
vocabulary, sentence structure, verbs and tenses.
But a method should be considered when designing a lesson plan in an ELT
context. The Presentation, Practice and Production method must be considered when
using poetry to teach a lesson. As students may be unfamiliar with the vocabulary of a
poem, it is suitable to first introduce the vocabulary at the beginning of the lesson.
This has to be done creatively in order to make it meaningful for the students. As for
the practice lesson, students can use this poem to develop reading skills for three
main reasons: to introduce vocabulary, develop literary competence, improve reading
comprehension.
Including poetry in an ELT context assists the teacher with multiple language
elements at once. For instance, poetry introduces unfamiliar vocabulary, sentence
structure, tenses, and verb to be. Such is the case of the poem “In my craft or sullen
art” by Dylan Thomas. Different literary elements can be found in this poem such as:
the speaker is first person singular, participant, no mental access, objective. The topic
of the poem is poets, the theme is the reasons to write. Within this the central idea of
the poem is poets write about any situation. The message the poets’ duty is to write
for love to his art and not personal gains. The autor express this from the point of
view of a poet.
In my craft or sullen art
 Exercised in the still night
When only the moon rages
And the lovers lie abed
With all their griefs in their arms,
I labour by singing light
Not for ambition or bread
Or the strut and trade of charms
On the ivory stages
But for the common wages
Of their most secret heart.

Not for the proud man apart

From the raging moon I write
On these spindrift pages
Nor for the towering dead
With their nightingales and psalms
But for the lovers, their arms
Round the griefs of the ages,
Who pay no praise or wages
Nor heed my craft or art.

Now well, this poem is loaded with new vocabulary therefore, the Presentation,
Production, Practice method is suitable to introduce it. The reason for this is that
during the presentation stage, students are first expose to the new vocabulary and
activates prior knowledge. In this poem, this can be done through a matching activity
during the warm up.This type of activities lasts from three to five minutes.
