This is a database I put together a few years ago focusing on some of Yeats's poems on the LC. Download and open the database; use the filters at the top of the spreadsheet to select what you wish to view. Begin with themes and look at language and imagery after that. Will work in Google docs, Excel or Open Office.
How it maps to the curriculum
- SC
- English
Strand: Poetry
Suggestions for use: When you open the database, be sure to use the filters at the top to find your way around, for example, you could choose to navigate poem by poem, or topic by topic. I have commented on various aspects of Yeats's poetry here, and included some extracts from research, but these are by no means exhaustive. You can add your own ideas and index them in the filters' section. Themes are covered in detail, but you could develop the imagery section more.
