This is a full set of resources that can be used for teaching Romantic Poetry on the new Edexcel A Level Literature spec. It covers Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Keats and Emily Bronte. A little contextual information is covered for each poet, followed by exploration of each of the poems in the collection. There are also resources on the unit itself, an overview of Romanticism and some revision activities.
There is one PowerPoint per poet, but these can be split into numerous lessons. I used this in one-to-one tuition so you may want to adapt the activities to make them more suitable for group work.
It's a mixture of my own stuff plus lots of bits and pieces that I sourced on here plus other places online. Hope it's useful. :)
The poems covered are as follows:
William Blake: Holy Thursday (Innocence and Experience), The Sick Rose, The Tyger, London
William Wordsworth: Lines Written in Early Spring, Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey, Ode: Intimations of Immortality
Samuel Taylor Coleridge: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Lord Byron: Lines Inscribed Upon a Cup Formed from a Skull, Fare Thee Well, So We'll Go No More A Roving, On This Day I Complete My Thirty-Sixth Year
Percy Bysshe Shelley: 'The cold earth slept below', Stanzas Written in Dejection, near Naples, Ode to the West Wind, The Question
John Keats: Ode to a Nightingale, Ode on a Grecian Urn, To Autumn, Ode on Melancholy, Sonnet on the Sea
Emily Bronte: To a Wreath of Snow, R. Alcona to J. Brenzaida, Julian M. and A. G. Rochelle, Last Lines
