Out of the many poems that we have and have not learnt in English‚ the two that I would choose for year 7 next year‚ are‚ ‘The Lesson’ By Roger McGough and ‘The Man From Snowy River’ by Banjo Patterson.

The first poem that I would recommend to the year sevens next year is “The Lesson”. This poem has lots of humour in it and brutality‚ which
