Based on Carol Ann Duffy's poem 'Stealing', this resource includes a series of comprehension questions based on:

  • understanding the poem
  • language analysis
  • the speaker.

The poem is based on the themes of isolation, theft, violence and ostracisation from society. The resource would work as a one-off lesson looking at the poem as unseen.

You will need a copy of the poem to use this resource. It is widely available online and not reproduced here due to copyright restrictions.
