STARTER TASK: Read and consider the words on the word cloud STARTER TASK: Read and consider the words on the word cloud. What do you think the monologue is going to be about? What do you think the mood or atmosphere is? CHALLENGE: The bigger words are the ones which are repeated in the monologue. Why do you think they are repeated by the poet?

Medusa – Carol Ann Duffy Objectives: To explore how he poet presents a classical figure through poetry Challenge: To analyse how sound techniques add to the meaning presented.

Who was Medusa? Medusa was a very attractive mortal who was admired for her looks and beautiful hair. One day, Poseidon, the God of the Sea, seduced Medusa in Athena’s temple. Athena, the Goddess of war strategy and the protector of land, was very angry that Medusa disgraced her in her temple; therefore, she took Medusa’s beauty away and turned her into an ugly Gorgon with snakes on her head. From then on, any person that Medusa looked at would turn into stone. This obviously meant that she could never fall in love or have herself attached to someone again. Perseus, a Greek hero, was able to cut off Medusa’s head by using a polished shield from Athena. He saw Medusa in the reflection of the shield (this allowed him not to turn to stone) and was able to use her head to combat many future battles. TASK: Go back to your word cloud – highlight or underline the words that you think that particularly address the story.

Let’s read Carol Ann Duffy’s version Consider the words that are emphasised in the reading. Why do you think these words have been selected?

Consolidation How does Duffy use literary techniques related to sound to help present the figure of Medusa? Answer the question using evidence to support your ideas.
