Edexcel Conflict Poetry - Complete Scheme of Work - GCSE English Literature

This is a complete scheme of work for the poetry section of the Edexcel GCSE English Literature specification; the CONFLICT cluster.

This scheme of work contains three lessons focusing on each individual poem, which each walk students through the context, language, form and structural analysis they need to understand and teaches them how to analyse the poem with regards to a specific theme. There is also a differentiated glossary for each poem.

There are also four lessons which teach students how to answer the comparison question, focusing on the themes of war, anger, relationships and nature. Including within these lessons are model answers, references to the mark scheme and planning sheets.

Additionally I have created a poetic terminology workbook to run alongside the unit which students complete as they annotate each poem. There are also memory quizzes designed to help students to be able to quickly recall important quotations from across the cluster.
