LONG TERM GOAL

After the comprehension of this poem, the students will be able to understand the changes in season in a better way and it will never be a matter of surprise or confusion for them whenever they experience such changes in season throughout their lives

SHORT TERM GOAL

This poem does not contain themes which are of temporal nature. The change in season is a continual process. Its effects are not conspicuous on a weekly or daily basis. However, frequent revisions of this poem may deepen the already acquired sense of season in them

INSTITUTIONAL STRATEGY

For a better understanding of this topic, discussion on the recent global happenings such as volcanic eruption in Chile and resulting suspension in air traffic and hailing/snow-falling in Lahore after 50 years may also be helpful. Describing the phenomenon of rain may also arouse interest and willingness about the topic

Challenges The moderate weather conditions

in Karachi city is a main hurdle in covering the length and breadth of this topic. Students living in Karachi cannot experience and analyze the changing weather conditions in the month of October as this poem is meant to be taught in the same month. On the other hand, whatever the poet describes and discusses for October is sorrowfully lacking in the city’s atmosphere. The city in October happens to be in the grip of hot winds with everybody perspiring and searching for some shady place to have a sigh of relief. In the wake of this fact, it seems only a fabulous depiction of some fantastic world that perhaps exists nowhere.

Solutions To relate the

description in the poem, matching pictures of different regions and cities can be used to create an atmosphere of weather change in October. Running video footage on the projector may be a better option for overcoming these challenges to a great extent.

NEWSLETTER
