Quoting a dictionary: allusion /əˈluːʒ(ə)n/ (noun) = an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference. e.g. "an allusion to Shakespeare"

Task: Research the allusions in Carol Ann Duffy's allusion-heavy Christmas poem from 2009 (text also on Tera) + add any other annotations you consider apt

Task (starts in class, should be finished at home, presentations in class):
The poem divided into 3 parts, each group of three looks deeper into their third (but reads the whole and annotates everything to some extent). Annotating using a colour code you have developed for reading texts is important here, too, as preparation for annotating Paper 1 texts before you start writing-
Group 1 (stanzas 1-4): Pradny, Timo, Frederik
Group 2 (stanzas 5-8): Steven, Olabanji, Anastasia)
Group 3 (stanzas 9-12): Neel, Enes, Sithil
