War Poetry SOW- written in line with the requirements of the AQA GCSE English Specification

This SOW has been written for a mixed ability Year 7 class but could be developed to suit all ability groups. It will also be suitable for year 8 groups in some cases.
The poems explored were chosen to demonstrate view points and perspectives which are not always explored in ‘traditional’ poetry SOW. They also focus, predominantly, on modern poetry so students can experience war poetry of their generation. The title of the poem is also the title of the lesson so they can be easily accessed.
A final assessment has been outlined in the SOW.
The SOW includes:
-Levelled learning objectives (using the GCSE 1-9 grading criteria)
-The GCSE assessment objectives each lesson relates to
-An outline of the activities for each lesson; including starters, plenaries and homework tasks
-A summary of the resources required
-Possible ideas for personalisation and differentiation
-Cross curricular links
-Assessment for Learning opportunities

Any feedback or areas for development will be gratefully received.
