A pre-reading activity for students to compare two versions of the river scene presented in Wordsworth's iconic poem, 'Composed upon Westminster Bridge'.

The poem is presented as prose and students look at the similarities and differences in his sister's reflections of the same moment – a novel way to make the poem's themes and language more accessible.
