• The author’s attitude and feeling towards the poem.
• The emotions that are evoked in readers of the poem.
• How the author uses the poem to convey more than one theme.

intense thunderstorm with pouring rain, including all the relevant sound and visual effects.

JUSTIFICATION – This set the mood and get the learners thinking about one of the themes of
the poem.

them feel and what emotions they believe thunderstorms might evoke in others. They shared
their thoughts and feelings openly. (5 minutes)

varying experiences with thunderstorms, whether playing in the rain as small children or being
scared of the lightening in bed at night. It set the mood for analyzing the poem further.
