Identity and Culture Poetry Unit KS3

This unit focuses on the themes of identity and culture in poetry, taking poems from the old AQA anthology that are still used today in some GCSE and iGCSE poetry anthologies. This anthology is included in the bundle.
To combat the fear or dull-approach to poetry, I have incorporated a multi-modal approach that uses music, group work, games and other creative means to encourage students to see poetry in a different light. All my lessons are differentiated with appropriate stretch and challenges, with definitions and writing prompts to support their learning.
The unit comprises of 13 one hours lessons, though I have found that these lessons can be drawn out or shortened to suit the preferred time frame.

The poems include:

• Haikus
• Search for my Tongue
• Half Caste
• Storm of the Island
• Limbo

The unit is angeled towards KS3 Secondary students as it gives them a refresher on language techniques and structural devices.

I hope that you enjoy my lessons :)
