close their eyes, telling them to imagine the scene described. Describe the
author sees in the poem, without reading the poem yet. Make the scene clearer
in order for them to make the picture more vivid. You will make them feel

was entitled I Wandered lonely As a Cloud? What is the poem all about?
2.
Pre-reading
·
Introducing of the author and the poem.
Are you familiar with
Mr. William Wordsworth?
Who is William
Wordsworth?
He
was born last April
7, 1770. He was a major English Romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature with the 1798 joint publication Lyrical Ballads.
Wordsworth's magnum opus is generally considered to be The Prelude, a semiautobiographical poem of his
early years which he revised and expanded a number of times. It was
posthumously titled and published, prior to which it was generally known as
"the poem to Coleridge". Wordsworth was Britain's Poet Laureate from 1843. William Wordsworth died
by aggravating a case of pleurisy on 23 April 1850, and was
buried at St. Oswald's church in Grasmere. His widow Mary published his
lengthy autobiographical "poem to Coleridge" as The Prelude several
months after his death. Though this failed to arouse great interest in 1850, it
has since come to be recognized as his masterpiece.
·
Telling the student to read the poem
with feelings and emotions, they should relate it in their lives in order to
appreciate it better.
3.
Reading proper
· I
will ask somebody to read the poem aloud with feelings and emotions.
· Telling
the students to read the poem aloud is important because poetry is meant to be
heard.
· Point-out
the structure of the poem: the rhyme scheme, the elements used, meter and etc.
It is important to know and determine the structure of the poem in order for
the students to understand and appreciate it completely.
C. Summarizing

Can
you give me some of the examples of the figurative language you encountered as
you read the poem.
What do you think is the reason why the author entitled
the poem as “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud?”
As we discuss the poem, we will know why did the author
entitled the poem as “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud.”
D. Discussion
Now
let us begin to the analysis of the poem read. Let us notice and identify the
imageries we encountered after reading it. We all know that imagery simply
means images; it is a picture that was made in our mind as we read the poem. We
try to use our senses: sight, hear, smell, touch or even taste in some ways.
Now,
let us start with the first stanza,
In this stanza, more images was
created in our mind as we encounter this part that floats over valleys and
hills where the author wanders as well as the golden daffodils. We use our
sense of feeling when the speaker feels the breeze. We also use the sense of
smell in the scents of the golden daffodils.
This
part still composed of several imageries. The daffodils still became the
subject in this stanza. It says that it continuous as the stars that shine and
twinkle in the Milky Way. Never-ending means infinite in number.
Let us come to the next, the third
and the fourth stanza. These stanzas are still connected to the previous
stanzas bringing the reader’s awareness back to the actual location of the
daffodils beside the lake.
And
now let me see if you really understood the poem.
Who
do you think is/are the characters in the poem?
Where
did the poem happen?
How
is the speaker described in the poem?
How
about the place?
E. Answering the Motive Invention
Now
let us go back to the question that i gave you before we started discussing the
poem.
What
did you think is the poem all about?
“The
poem is all about a man who is lonely and trying to wander the natural world
with his mind only. He wanders through the mountain, in the daffodils, and
others. “
“The
wanderer experienced the natural world through his mind.
