Unseen poetry lesson - Conflict poetry and Belfast Confetti

A complete lesson (possibly two depending on pace) on why poets write poetry about conflict, with a focus on understanding and closely analysin ‘Belfast Confetti’ by Ciaran Carson.
The lesson starts with examples of art, poetry and rap inspired by the Grenfell Tower tragedy in order to introduce pupils to the question of why poets are inspired by conflict.
There is a focus throughout on using the form, structure and punctuation of a poem to unlock meaning - pupils are asked to focus on structural techniques such as enjambment and caesura.
The PowerPoint also includes a link to a relevant YouTube video as well as relevant historical context about the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
There is a writing task with optional challenge questions, and a model paragraph of close analysis.
Includes plenary task using exit tickets.
