Simon Armitage's Conflict Poetry [Remote Learning Booklet]

This KS3 remote learning booklet has been designed to not only assist pupils with their home learning, but to facilitate the strengthening of the skills needed for KS4 and the analysis of AQA’s ‘Power and Conflict’ poetry cluster.

This comprehensive booklet consists of the resources below:

• Research on the poet/poet fact file.
• Defining conflict (using the ‘Frayer Model’)
• The guided analysis of Armitage’s ‘Out of the Blue’, with space to write a singular essay-style paragraph on the language used within the poem.
• The guided analysis of Armitage’s ‘Manhunt’.
• Space for a creative task based on Armitage’s ‘Manhunt’ (Diary Entry).
• The guided analysis of Armitage’s ‘About His Person’, with space for an extended essay-style answer.
• The guided analysis of Armitage’s ‘Remains’.
• An ILP (independent learning project) which requires students to compare two of the poems in a creative way (templates have been included for students to fill out if they struggle with this more advanced element).

I hope this helps and please leave feedback! :)
