The learning goal will be to understand this poem and why the sea is so important to the poet. Students may feel able to write a poem after this lesson.
I have taught in high schools in the UK and in Belgium as well as having taught English online for six years.
Pen and paper plus a copy of the poem.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
