This learning resource focuses on the poem 'Chances' by Omar Sakr, an Arab-Australian poet who explores themes of identity, migration, and the complexities of existence shaped by personal and historical contexts. The resource aims to guide students in identifying and analyzing key literary devices within the poem, such as enjambment, juxtaposition, and sensory imagery. Students will engage with the text by annotating relevant lines, exploring how Sakr's lived experiences influence his work, and conducting independent analysis to deepen their understanding of the themes of displacement, intergenerational memory, and the migrant experience. Additionally, the resource encourages students to connect the poem's themes to wider societal discussions about multiculturalism and identity.
