Based on the first few lessons' focus on Christopher Marlowe's "The Passionate Shepard to His Love" and Sir Walter Raleigh's "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepard," the fifth instructional activity in the unit adds William Carlos Williams's "Raleigh Was Right" to the conversation. Tenth graders decide how figurative language contributes to all three poems' tone and central idea.
