Our First iMovie!! Video Adaptation of Dylan Thomas's "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night"

The first poetry analysis I assigned was Dylan Thomas's Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.

Student groups were asked to develop video adaptations of their assigned stanza. Through various class discussions they realized that "that good night" was a metaphor referring to death. They also identified that the speaker was talking to six men: old men, wise men, good men, wild men, grave mean, and finally his father. He gives each man a reason why he should "fight" death (i.e."don't go gentle...").

Enjoy!

Please leave constructive comments, praise, etc.
