Describe the scene that the poet broadcasts ‘live’ from the streets of England in stanza 1. 2. What information do we get in the last stanza – why should we ‘stay tuned’? 3. Sketch a map of the world. Place a thin, weeping dictionary in the UK. Send home the things mentioned in the poem. 4. Explain the connection between the ‘homebound’ words (anoraks, bananas, etc.) and how they are said to behave. How does John Agard play with words and meanings? 5. Make a conclusion on the results of your analysis, using the following words: breaking news, poem, loan words, tragedy, word play, expectations, poet’s intention. goodnight7 https://padlet.com/goodnight7/rewcgaaz9dq5/wish/296291509 2018-10-24 05:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/goodnight7/rewcgaaz9dq5/wish/296291509 https://padlet.com/goodnight7/rewcgaaz9dq5/wish/510185051 2020-04-16 08:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/goodnight7/rewcgaaz9dq5/wish/510185051
