Crossing the
Bar
 crossing the bar

Crossing the Bar, an elegy written by the British poet Alfred

Lord Tennyson, is a poem focusing on the transience of life
and the finality of death. Lord Tennyson was a poet of the
Victorian period and remained the poet laureate of Great
Britain and Ireland during his lifetime. He is well celebrated
to this day for his short lyrics.
Crossing the Bar was written in 1889 when the poet was
visiting the Isle of Wight and published in the volume
Demeter and Other Poems (1889). He was eighty years old at
the time and was down with a severe illness from which he
eventually recovered. The illness, however, made the poet
ponder on death as he himself was very old and nearing his
time.
He used the metaphor of crossing a
sand bar to represent death in his
poem. He died three years later, thus
this poem is an important one and can
be seen as Alfred Lord Tennyson's
choice of his final words.

by Alfred Lord Tennyson

(3) Twilight and evening bell,

And one clear call for me! And may there be no sadness of farewell,
And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I embark;
When I put out to sea,

(4) For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
(2) But such a tide as moving seems asleep, The flood may bear me far,

or the fortune of their birth -- will we have reached
our destination.
Today, we are closer to fulfilling America's promise
of economic and social justice because we stand on
the shoulders of giants like Dr. King, yet our future
progress will depend on how we prepare our next
generation of leaders. We must fortify their ladders of
opportunity by correcting social injustice, breaking fortify
the cycle of poverty in struggling communities, and strengthen

child's potential and remains our strongest weapon reinvesting-

 MAKING
CONNECTIONS
You might have not noticed, but your previous experiences, knowledge,
emotions, and understanding affect what and how you learn (Harvey &
Goudvis, 2000). Called the schema, your background knowledge and
experiences actually help you make sense and meaning of the material you
are exposed to. Learning how to access these prior knowledge, experiences,
emotions, and opinions can help you make a connection to the text to help
you understand concepts better.
Keene and Zimmerman (1997, as cited in Kardash, 2004) concluded that
students like you comprehend better when you make different kinds of
connections. These three (3) connections include the following:

text-to-self,

Text-to-text,

Text-to-world.
 text -to -self connections
Text-to-self connections are actually
personal connections that you make
between yourself and the selection you
are dealing with. Previous experiences,
emotions, or opinions may be similar to
the ones present in the material
QUESTIONS TO ASK/PONDER

read this?
This story reminds me of a vacation that I
had on a beach, just like the main
character.
 The main character in this story
reminds me of my first crush.
 text -to -text connections
Text-to-text connections are connections
where you relate one material to another
that you have read or have already come
across. Texts might be from a similar
author, same theme or topic, same genre,
and the like.
QUESTIONS TO ASK/PONDER
• What does this remind me of
in another book I have read?
• How is this text similar to
other things I have read?

something like this before?
 I read a book about venomous spider. Then,
I remember an article about gigantic Muslim
spiders that brought deadly Ebola to UK.
 I read a story about a boy who visited a
magical land with witches and wizards. It
reminded me of the book "Harry Potter".
 text -to -world connections
Text-to-world connections are the larger
connections that a reader brings to a
reading situation including our perception
of the world which might vary since we
have various sources of learning things
beyond personal experiences (e.g.
television, radio, magazines, articles,
movies, etc.)
QUESTIONS TO ASK/PONDER
• What does this remind me of in
the real world?
• How is this text similar to things
happening in real world?
• How is this different from things
happening in real world?
• How does this part relate to the
world around me?
 I read a news about how water pollution is
affecting marine animals. It reminded me of
the whale died in Davao Gulf of the
Philippines which starved to death because
of more than 88 pounds plastic waste in its
belly.
