Edexcel GCSE English Literature Time and Place Poetry Profiles Booklet

Pearson Edexcel GCSE English Literature (9-1) Poetry Anthology

This resource allows for a number of things:

• Students are able to build up ‘poetry profiles’
• Students will learn how to annotate their poems, a skill to be uses in both seen and unseen poetry
• Students will learn how to structure their poetry essays with the simple and easy SPITT, a skill to be uses in both seen and unseen poetry

The main benefit of this booklet, however, is that it allows students to build up ‘poetry profiles’ (as I like to call them). Each poem in the Time and Place anthology has a page where students are able to record essential information. Students will have to record the subject, purpose, context, ideas, language points, structure points, form and their own thoughts for each poem. If your student completes this booklet, they are guaranteed to walk into the exam equipped with all they need to know.

ADDITIONALLY(!), this resource comes with a completed booklet! If your students are struggling, they can turn to this booklet for some ideas and help. I would suggest keeping the filled in version under your belt and bringing it out when you go though the poem with your class, either at the end of teaching or for revision!
