How to "Analyse the given poem for the theme of death by exploring the metaphors and other literary techniques".

Firstly, we would go over the poem and discuss it to make sure we understand the poem. We would then go back to the question and underline the parts of it that are important, for example "death", "metaphors" and "literary techniques". We would brainstorm what a metaphor is and what other literary techniques could be (similes, personifications etc.). I would suggest we each go over the poem and make notes relevant to the question like finding examples of metaphors that represent death and what the poet's intention is with the specific metaphor. We would then come back together and brainstorm; the student would share their ideas and I would chip in. We would then continue on with the essay. After having discussed how the student would structure the essay, the student would start writing. I would give advice as to what to include like an overview of the poem and its aim in the introduction. I would read over the essay and lastly, make sure all the students questions were answered.
