Love and Relationships Poetry Bundle

Just what you need for this time of year – work AND play! This resource features a set of TWELVE sample exam questions for ‘Love and Relationships’ poetry and ALSO a ‘Fun Pack’ containing a range of fun activities designed to entertain your students while reinforcing their knowledge of the poets and poetry of the ‘Love and Relationships’ cluster.

Sample Questions:
The questions have been carefully designed to reflect the exact format and demands of the new AQA GCSE English Literature exam paper.
I’ve used these exam questions both as class activities and as homework. They are also ideal for practice tests in the run-up to the exams.

Fun Pack:
This consists of a range of fun activities designed to entertain your students while reinforcing their knowledge of the poets and poetry of the AQA ‘Love and Relationships’ cluster.
The contents are:

1. Table Quiz – this consists of four 15-question rounds, focusing on the opening lines, closing lines, subject matter and titles of the fifteen poems. The table quiz can be run in two ways – you can either call out the questions and have the students fill in the blank answer grids I’ve provided, or you can distribute the handouts I’ve created for each round. For your convenience, I’ve included full answer sheets for each round. These are also on the presentation so that students can correct their own work if necessary. These sheets can also be used as in-class or homework activities as they facilitate a really close re-reading of the poems.

2. Powerpoint Presentation – includes answers to the sixty questions so that students can correct their own work.

3. Anagrams – this is an A4 handout of anagrams using the poets’ full names. Answers included.

4. Wordsearch – using the poets’ names.

5. Wordsearch – using the poem titles.

6. Crossword – using the poem titles.

I’m currently adding lots of GCSE poetry resources to my shop so please check back regularly!

I hope this is useful for you and instructive for your students - as always, I’d love to hear any feedback you may have.
