The lesson plan will break down the poem’s structure, themes, and poetic devices, while emphasizing the emotional impact of captivity on the tiger. Students will be guided through discussions about the symbolism of freedom and restraint, as well as the critique of human interference in nature. The lesson will also involve activities such as comprehension exercises, group discussions, and analysis of the tiger’s inner conflict. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the message the poet conveys about the loss of dignity and natural instincts when animals are held captive. The plan will end with reflection questions to encourage students to connect the poem’s themes to real-world issues related to wildlife conservation.
