Another great way to engage your students is creating a storyboard that uses vocabulary. Since “The Tyger” was written over 200 years ago, the language in it includes some archaic and specialized terms. Some words, like “dread”, “art”, and “Lamb” (with a capital “L”) are either not used in the way students might expect or have multiple meanings. Here is a list of a few vocabulary words in ”The Tyger” that may need extra explanation and an example of a visual vocabulary board.
In the vocabulary board, students can choose between coming up with their own use of the vocabulary word in a sentence, citing and/or paraphrasing the specific line from the poem, or depicting it without words.
