This resource includes 2 full lessons in a 15 slide PPT on Duffy’s poem ‘Salome’ , comparing to ‘Clown Punk’ (NB there is another package available where a lesson on ‘Clown Punk’ is also included). It originally formed part of a scheme for year 9 looking at a wide variety of poetry in preparation for their AQA GCSE study, but would be suitable for any GCSE group as practice.
The lesson approaches the poem as an unseen text, helping pupils develop poetic analysis skills before progressing on to drawing comparisons under an exam style question. This lesson should not be taught to lower years due to the suggestive content of the poem.
The PPT includes:
- oracy task retelling the story of Salome in pairs
- guided reading of the poem with key questions
- discussion of key questions and themes
- Group analysis task with a worksheet provided, breaking down the poem into 4 sections with guiding questions
- A brief intro to comparing poems
- A Venn diagram comparison with exam style question to be completed by pupils
- Possible answers to the Venn diagram question and sentence stems to direct pupils
- A strategy for responding to the unseen comparison question (PEEZL) with further guidance to assist pupils in writing their own comparison
- An extract from an example response (focused on Salome) with opportunities to either extend or use as a model

BUNDLE - Poetry: full scheme of work, range of poems for GCSE/KS3, introduction, analysis and unseen skills
This bundle includes a range of poetic study with a lot of cross over to creative tasks, designed originally as a scheme for year 9 as an introduction to poetic study. Roughly 12-16 full lessons included. The scheme aims to develop approaches to understanding and interpreting poetry in a pupil-centred way, without the teacher dictating notes. It builds analysis skills and aims to help pupils understand why people write poetry. It would form a great introduction to poetic analysis, or for developing unseen skills required for the AQA literature exams. This bundle contains a whopping £18 worth of resources (when sold separately) and every lesson has been tried and tested. It also touches on creative writing and oracy, with built in tasks that springboard from the poems studied. Poems included: Medusa Hitcher Salome Last Duchess Clown Punk About His Person Sonnet 18 The Raven Resistance (Armitage's new Ukraine-Russia poem) PLUS an introductory lesson looking at 4 other poems!

Bundle
Poetry - unseen + how to compare (Clown Punk - Armitage + Salome - Duffy) 3 lessons, AQA
This bundle contains 3-4 lessons on Clown Punk and Salome, originally written as part of a scheme for year 9 looking at a range of poetry in preparation for GCSE. It was written for AQA but could be tweaked for other boards. It contains full lessons on each poem, in a pupil-centred approach (encouraging students to explore the poetry for themselves rather than rely on teacher dictation of notes), which helps develop unseen poetry skills. It then moves on to compare the two poems to each other, exploring a possible approach to this. The PPT is flexible in that you can teach it as unseen comparison, or use it to help develop comparative skills for the anthology cluster. When sold separately, these resources retail at £3.30
