Dear ,while start this poem,how to create a bond between the poem and privious material ,I mean how to use set induction this poem
Hi Pankaj, you can introduce the topic by asking a few questions based on feelings and then connect to the feeling of the poet. For example: Do you feel free to express all your views? Do we feel hindered by public opinion? or Do we feel afraid to lose and let ourselves be captivated? Gen-z students can not relate to patriotic emotion, but they will be able to relate to such feelings.
