    Questions

    Discuss and make detailed notes with supporting evidence on


    the question(s) assigned to your group. You will be peer teaching
    your response to other members of the class.

    How does Tennyson bring a Christian element to the poem?

    What do you think is the significance of having the Light Brigade


    temporarily victorious in stanza 4? Does it add to the story’s
    tension? Does it make these brave soldiers more admirable? How?

    What themes are explored in the poem? Consider loyalty, pride …

    How might the rhythm of the poem be ‘militaristic’? What sound


    might it be trying to replicate?

    Is it fair to suggest that ‘Charge of the Light Brigade’ is ‘pictures


    with words’? Consider the poet’s use of figurative language,
    manipulation of colour and sound.

    What specific details suggest that very few members of the Light
    Brigade survived the famous charge?

    The repetition of words and lines stresses the Brigade's a) action,


    weakness, fear, and defeat b) reaction, violence, marching, and
    surrender c) charge, cannon fire, bloodshed, and victory d) action,
    determination, losses, and honour. Discuss.
