This week, Grade 8 students analyzed a poem by the renowned poet Mahmoud Darwish as part of their Language and Literature class. The unit covered an introduction to the poet’s life and key literary contributions, followed by a detailed analysis of the poem’s core themes and meaning. Applying the subject’s official assessment criteria, students examined language usage, stylistic devices, and rhetorical imagery. They concluded the unit by engaging in literary criticism and producing their own written responses to demonstrate their understanding of the text.
