10 mins Teacher can then ask the students about the poem ‘Hope’
Teacher’s Resource: Discuss the following questions to illicit answers from the students to
decipher their understanding of the poem.
Q1. Where does ‘Hope’ reside?
Ans: The poem is an extended metaphor and it personifies ‘hope’ as a bird. The poet is
saying that this little bird resides inside every human soul.
Q2. What is the poet saying about ‘Hope’, when she says that the bird never stops singing?
Ans: When the poet says that the bird never stops singing, she means that hope is
omnipresent. It does not need a specific situation or time to make its presence felt. It rests
in the human heart and springs to action when the going gets the tough.
Q3. Is ‘Hope’ hard to upset or disturb? Which line tells us that? Explain.
Ans: ‘Hope’ never gets upset or disturbed. The lines “yet never, in extremely, it asked a
crumb of me.” tells us this. The poet says that she has heard a bird during hardest, coldest
times when emotions are churning and life is difficult. But even when things are extreme,
hope is still there and never asks for anything.
Q4. What are some the literary devices used by the poet to convey the message of the
poem?
Ans: Alliteration: It refers to the repetition of the same consonant sounds occurring close
together in a row to create musical effects such as /h/ sound in “we have heard it in the
chilliest land” where this sound has created a musical quality in the line.
 Consonance: Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds such as the sound

of /th/ in “the tune without the words” and the sound of /t/ in “that could abet the
little bird.”
 Assonance: Assonance is the repetition of the vowel sounds in the same line such
as the sound of /i/ in “I’ve heard it in the chilliest land.”
 Metaphor: There is one extended metaphor in the poem. Dickenson has compared
hope with “feathers”/ “bird” which shows how it sings and gives courage to the
spirit of a person.
 Personification: When an inanimate object is given human characteristics or
qualities, it is personified. In the first stanza, Dickenson considers hoping a
preacher that keeps on preaching and never stops. It sings its silent song in the
hearts of the men to fill them with spiritual power. In other words, she has
personified hope in this poem.
 Imagery: Imagery is used to make the readers perceive things through five senses.
It helps them to create a mental picture of the objects described. The poet has used
images for the sense of sight such as, “bird”, “feathers”, “storm”, “land” and
“sea.”
 Symbol: Emily has used many symbols to show the powerful impact of hope in our
lives. “Chilliest Sea” and “storm” symbolize struggles during trying times when
hope is still there.
2 mins Brain-Break: Choose a category (ex. movies, food, jobs etc.), then take turns naming
something from that category while going down the alphabet. For example, if your
category is food, one person might say “apples,” the next person “bananas”, the next
person “cherries” and so on. Categorization is an important skill to practice, but the
alphabet game is entertaining, too!
15 mins Students will work on an activity sheet on the poem. (Format attached with this plan).
Screen share the format and instruct the learners to copy the format on an A4 size paper.
Tell to Complete the following table with appropriate information.

Teacher will review the worksheet with the learners taking their feedback once they are
done.
3 mins Wrap-up: Instruct the students to write down 2 positive statements / affirmation
expressing their readiness to accept the challenges that life offers. They will do the activity
on a chart paper or A4 size paper and show it to the class. Provide feedback on their work
and end the class with a positive note.
Differentiation 1. Give slow and shy learners enough scopes to produce answers.
2. Appreciate correct responses.
3. Assist and guide learners gradually and constructively towards independence.
General Comments This is an outline to complete the unit. Teachers should feel free to be flexible and use their discretion where needed to adapt to any
informal situation.
