A deep focus on poetic structure that includes a lesson plan, a powerpoint presentation and a copy of the poem that needs to be enlarged onto A3 for annotation. I used this lesson at interview and the students applauded at the end as they loved it! I also got the job.

Two lessons that incorporate a group task, an analysis grid and two thematically linked poems. The lesson links well with the AQA poetry anthology and prepares students for the task of comparison. It will take at least two lessons.

An excellent tool for introducing unseen poetry to KS4. The approach is easy to adapt to your own teaching style and contains both poems, straightforward discussion and analysis grids, and structured comparison guidance. It will take up two or three lessons.
