Levertov What were they Like? Poetry Edexcel Conflict Vietnam War KS4 Language, Structure, Context

This lesson considers the life of Denise Levertov and the context of the poem ‘What were they Like?’, which is from the Conflict Cluster of the Edexcel Anthology. The resource enables students to analyse the language, structure and context of the poem. There are stanza by stanza tasks, as well as activities looking at the whole poem. The tasks in the lesson lead in to an exam style question. The lesson is suitable for the Conflict cluster of the Edexcel GCSE syllabus, but is also useful for students as practice for unseen poetry.
