A class discussion of Randall Jarrell's poem "The Truth".
Submitted by scotese on Tue, 2009-01-27 21:51
For the first 10 minutes of class, students read the poem - mark up their papers and make observations, then the next 10 minutes they find a partner and discuss the poem - finally, we have a large class discussion - that is this recording. The poem is about a boy who loses much of his family during the London Blitz - and the truth that is withheld from him.
