Description
This lesson is a poem analysis of "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost. This is a perfect side activity for the novel The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton!
This activity also works on its own if you are looking just to teach about the poem itself. Your students don't have to be reading The Outsiders.
In Chapter 5 of The Outsiders, Ponyboy recites the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay." This poem plays a major role in the novel as it represents the universal message to stay gold and stay pure. Have your students analyze the poem and build their comprehension; it will make analyzing the theme of the book much easier later on! The poem analysis will touch on important literary elements such as: rhyme scheme, tone, theme, metaphor, alliteration, allusion, imagery, and personification.
To enhance their learning and make the lesson more engaging, students will also study a poem with a similar theme. Students will listen to the Bob Dylan song, answer the questions, analyze the lyrics, and then compare and contrast the themes present in both texts.
