Poetry Analysis: ‘Hide and Seek’ by Vernon Scannell

‘Hide and Seek’ by Vernon Scannell is a dynamic poem that explores concept of growing up and learning through play and games. I have taught this text a number of times and have used this specific (revised) resource to lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning material (Google Meet lessons), as a homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students.

This beautifully illustrated 21 slide PowerPoint lesson includes a starter activity, a brief author biography, content-language-structure questions, an academic writing task, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary. This is a complete resource with no additional work required from the teacher, enjoy!

I am a frontline teacher with 12 years state school experience from inner London schools, and a further 8 years experience teaching internationally in Mexico and Spain. I am now a self-employed English tutor and pretty much a full-time Resource Author. This working life choice allows me to take care of my beautiful American wife and step-daughter, along with my own daughter from a previous relationship - we are a happy disfunctional, yet very loving, little family unit.
