Songs of Innocence and of Experience: Activity Pack for A Level
Set text for:
AQA B A Level
Songs of Innocence and of Experience is a satisfying text to teach. The poems are so open to interpretation that they are accessible to, and rewarding for, a wide range of students. This Activity Pack will take students through Blake’s radicalism and idiosyncrasy that make the collection as relevant to the twenty-first century as it was to the end of the eighteenth.
Poems are helpfully juxtaposed to illuminate key themes and to allow students to make thoughtful links.
