QUESTION 1: POETRY
Read the poem below, and then answer the questions that follow.
Mother Doesn't Want a Dog – by Judith Viorst
Mother doesn't want a dog.
Mother says they smell,
And never sit when you say sit,
Or even when you yell.
And when you come home late at night
And there is ice and snow,
You have to go back out because
The dumb dog has to go.
Mother doesn't want a dog.
Mother says they shed,
And always let the strangers in
And bark at friends instead,
And do disgraceful things on rugs,
And track mud on the floor,
And flop upon your bed at night
And snore their doggy snore.
Mother doesn't want a dog.
She's making a mistake.
Because, more than a dog, I think
She will not want this snake.
1.1) In the poem, the mother gives the child many reasons why she does not want a
dog. List two reasons and explain why they might worry an adult more than a child.
(3 marks)
1.2) Younger learners respond well to humorous poems. Pick three lines or images
from this poem and discuss how they contribute to the humour of the poem.

classroom. Provide three suggestions for how would you teach this poem “off the
page”?
