This cover sheet has been developed to ensure that pupils maintain a consistent quality of writing when comparing and contrasting two poems in an essay. Pupils are to use this checklist to tick off all of the essential elements of a successful answer, paragraph by paragraph, as they write it and present it when they submit their essay. This ensures that pupils remain focused in presenting consistently analytical paragraphs. I have used this successfully with both GCSE and A Level pupils.

Pupils were initially asked to research the book. This presentation was used in the following class to determine their knowledge and provide crucial background information. Pupils then used their knowledge to create a diary entry of a migrant worker.
