Revising The Right Word

1.  This is the powerpoint we used in class. 

To get this poem, it's important to understand Dharker's intention/message/lesson about:

• prejudices we have
• how words can have the power to manipulate how we think/feel/react - words can make our prejudices worse!

Remember, the first 6 stanzas describe exactly the same image (someone outside a door) but how differently you react to that person when they're called a TERRORIST (stanza 1)  to when they're called a CHILD (stanza 6).
