A useful template to encourage students to consider their own responses to four poems from Mean Time following a first reading: 'First Love', 'Crush', 'Disgrace', 'Close' and 'Adultery'. Students consider feelings, themes and language in each, and start to form initial, comparative judgements about the presentation of love in each.
