Teacher gives a little background on the poet and the Mersey Sound, which is a collection of poems that echo the mood of the pop poetry of the sixties bringing poetry down from the dusty shelf and onto the street . Teacher asks students to read the poems for some minutes. She comments on the imaginativeness and accuracy of the poem and how love comparisons bring things together in an unexpected way. Teacher asks them to compare the poems as to the style, use of vocabulary and images they evoke. While students read the poems pictures are being scattered on a big desk or blue tacked on the board.
