A complete, discussion-first unit exploring nature and environmental themes across five poems, one song, and one short film — built for Year 7-8 English classrooms and structured as a ready-to-teach 6-week sequence.

Students move from Romantic-era wonder through to urgent contemporary environmental warning, comparing how writers, musicians, and filmmakers use tone, imagery, and structure to make an audience care about the natural world. Every deck is packed with discussion questions and hands-on activities distributed throughout — no worksheets, no passive comprehension tasks.

What’s included:
• Deck 1: The Tyger (Blake) — awe and the duality of nature
• Deck 2: Daffodils (Wordsworth) — nature as joy and restoration
• Deck 3: My Country (Mackellar) — landscape and national identity
• Deck 4: Inversnaid (Hopkins) — wildness and conservation urgency
• Deck 5: Nothing Gold Can Stay (Frost) — impermanence and loss
• Deck 6: “Big Yellow Taxi” (Mitchell) — environmental critique through music
• Deck 7: “Migrants” (short film) — visual storytelling and climate displacement
• Deck 8: Cross-Text Comparison — awe vs. warning, tone as persuasion, shifting attitudes across two centuries
• Deck 9: 6-Week Teaching Sequence & Portfolio Assessment — full pacing guide plus annotation, comparative discussion, and creative writing tasks

Culminates in a portfolio-style assessment combining analytical annotation with original creative writing — ideal for a summative task that captures both skills in one product.
Perfect for: Year 7-8 English, poetry units, cross-media literacy, environmental/sustainability cross-curricular links, portfolio assessment design
