My videos on the beginning of the Songs of Innocence: Introduction, The Shepherd, The Ecchoing Green, The Lamb

 

 

Learning Objectives: to learn how Blake builds up a sense of a world of innocence through the introductory poems to the Songs of Innocence.

 

Look at these videos and then write at least a page of explanation as to how and why Blake builds up the sense of a world of innocence. In order to do this, you could answer these questions: what sort of emotions do people feel in the "world of innocence"? What do they do, and how do they behave? What is the atmosphere and setting? How does Blake use poetic techniques to evoke this world of innocence?
