January 2011

Today, we watched three videos from Mr. Duggan's blog:
  • Digging by Seamus Heaney
  • Death of a Naturalist by Seamus Heaney
  • Mid-Term Break by Seamus Heaney
It really helped me to put the poems into context, and make sure I completely understand what the poems are really about. For example, the Mid-Term Break video showed us the little boy's funeral, and it was a very solemn and depressing poem, which makes us really understand what that poem was written for.

The Death of a Naturalist video showed us the wonder and beauty of the nature, through the amazing pictures, but also the disgsusting frogspawn, so we can really see what happens in Seamus Heaney's mind.
