Green Beret by Ho Thien
Objectives:
•Identify the underlying themes of the poem
through listening and discussion;
•Explore the ways in which Ho Thien
influences the reader’s opinion through his
use of language.
Using your Ipads....
Look up the following words:
Mercenary
Guerrilla
Reading the poem
• We are going to read the poem together first.
While I am reading, I want you to choose
about one word or phrase in the text.
• I am now going to read the poem a second
time. When I read the word or phrase you
have chosen, say it with me, or just after
me, as an “echo”.
First impressions.....
• Whose side do you think the poet wants us to
be on? The child or the mercenaries?
• Base your answer on evidence from the text.
• For example: In my opinion, Ho Thien wants
us to be on the side of the child because he
says ‘a frail boy with the eyes of a hurt
animal’. This metaphor makes the boy seem
small, young and helpless, which makes us
feel sorry for him.
What do we feel about the characters?
Green Beret

The boy
Themes
• What is a theme?
• What themes do you think are dealt with in
Green Beret?
• Choose from the following:
war/loss/weather/education/fear/love/bullyin
g/magic/good versus evil.
• Can you justify your choices?
Learning challenge 1
• Provide an alternative ending to the poem.
• What do you think would have happened if
the boy had told?
• You can either write it, film it or do a
storyboard for it.
•
Learning challenge(s) 2
Either imagine you are a journalist:
Write a news report based on what you have
witnessed. You can include interviews of
characters involved.
Or
Imagine the green beret is being brought to a
post war tribunal. Re-create the trial in your
group and act it out. You can film or act “live”.
Independent study
• Find examples of metaphors, similes and
personification in the poem and explain the
effect of these poetic techniques.
• Check the definitions if you have forgotten!
