LI: To find and summarise the story behind the poem
| The | ship | sat | still | with |
| no | wind | or | waves | near. |
| The | ring | of | the | bell |
| called | out | a | warning | sound |
| Abbot | placed | the | bell | there |
| floating | and | swung | during | storms |
| Mariners | heard | the | warning | blessing |
| Abbot | for | the | bells | sound |
| The | day | was | filled | with |
| joy | in | the | shimmering | air |
| Sir | Ralph | had | seen | the |
| inchcape | bell | in | the | ocean |
| Sir | Ralph | had | felt | overjoyed |
| then | he | saw | Rover’s | mirth |
| His | main | priority | was | to |
| get | to | the | inchcape | rock |
| As | the | boat | Lowered | Sir |
| ralph | headded | to | the | rock |
| The | bell | sunk | down | taking | the |
| blessing | of | Abbot | under | the | sea |
| Sir | Ralph | sail’d | away | growing |
| richer | sailing | towards | Scotland | shore |
| The | Clouds | had | blocked | the |
| sun | with | the | wind | blowing |
| On | the | boat | the | group |
| had | not | seen | any | land |
| The | crew | Regretted | cutting | the |
| bell | as | they | desire | Guidance |
| The | group | grown | shock | as |
| the | boat | hit | The | rock |
| Sir | Ralph | learnt | his | lesson |
| as | he | heard | the | bell |
Our challenge was to unpack the story behind the 17 verses of the poem Inchcape Rock by Robert Southy. The part I found interesting was that Sir Ralph got his Karma when he cut the bell by sinking his boat.
I found this activity suprising because I never knew the inchcape rock had a story behind it
