Create a flowchart using the information the children uncovered in their research. Let the children read works by both poets. Ask them to recite some of them.  \nActivity 1: Hot Dog  \nRecite Kit Wright’s “Hot Dog” and discuss the viewpoints that the poem seems to promote. What features of the poem promote these opinions? What does the poem tell us about the dad? What does the poem tell us about the boyfriend? Use the Hot Dog: Think About It worksheet to conduct a second, more detailed reading.  \nActivity 2: Vegan Delight  \nRecite Benjamin Zephaniah’s “Vegan Delight”. What question is Zephaniah trying to answer in his poem? Why do you think he is doing this? Is he for or against meat-free diets? How do you know? Use the Vegan Delight: Think About It sheet to conduct a second, more detailed reading.  \nConclusion  \nAt the end of the lesson, ask the children if there is any way the dad and the boyfriend in “Hot Dog” could become friendlier towards each other. Do any of the vegetarians or vegans in the class find it difficult to describe to meat-eaters what they eat? Explain. Do any meat-eaters empathise with the dad? Explain.  \nWhat unfamiliar foods did you see listed in “Vegan Delight”? Does anyone know what these are?  \nBackground  \nThis lesson uses poetry in a light-hearted way to look at two contrasting views of meat-free lifestyles.  \nLearning Objectives  \nChildren should learn the following:  \nn To read two poems fluently, with expression  \nn To compare the styles of English used  \nn To discuss what the poems express about meat-free diets  \nAccompanying Materials n Poetry Comparison (student handout)  \nn Hot Dog: Think About It (student worksheet)  \nn Vegan Delight: Think About It (student worksheet)  \nPoetry Comparison  \nHot Dog  \nBy Kit Wright  \nMy Dad can’t stand my sister’s latest boyfriend.  \nBoring?  \nWhen he comes round, even the dog Starts snoring.  \nOur hamster crawls back in beneath His straw. Dad grits his teeth.  \nOur budgie  \nFolds his wings and shuts up shop. Dad’s eyelids drop.  \nBoring?  \nWhat he goes on about Is Being A Vegetarian. His line is ‘Meat is Out’And his line doesn’t vary an  \nInch. It goes like this:  \nGIVE HAMBURGERS A MISS!  \nEVERYONE IS MISTAKEN WHO EVER EATS BACON!  \nTHE ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD STOP FANCYINGA PORK CHOP!  \nHe’s utterly convinced Of the evil of beef, minced.  \nIf he were God, he’d damn  \nAll lamb. And ham. And spam.  \nWhat’s best, he says, for you Is lentil-and-seaweed stew.  \nHe feels all meals should be:  \nLentil-and-seaweed Stew for breakfast, Seaweed-and-lentil Stew for tea.  \nOh, he’s sincere all right: You couldn’t doubt it. But why must he  \nGo on and on And on and on About it?  \nMy Dad can’t stand my sister’s latest boyfriend.  \nBoring?  \nLast night I really thought That Dad would hit him. What happened was the dog Woke up and bit him.  \nMy sister was really mad. They stormed out.
