Parent Guide > Ode on a Grecian Urn
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats.
In the poem "Ode on a Grecian Urn," Keats describes elaborate images on a vase.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Death and Fate & Free Will as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How do people face death?" and "Can we control our fate?"
Ways to support your child:
-
Ask your child about this poem at home:
- What was "Ode on a Grecian Urn" about?
- What did you learn about Death?
- What did you learn about Fate & Free Will?
- Watch “Ode on a Grecian Urn” by John Keats (read by Tom O’Bedlam) at home with your child.
