Draw lines to link poems by themes related to power and conflict.

In my experience, students find beginning comparative paragraphs to be the hardest aspect of writing comparisons on the power and conflict anthology poems. These two worksheets offer help with starting off discriminating comparisons. Students use the prompts to complete the opening sentences to various comparative paragraphs.

A Power and Conflict Knowledge organiser. For all 15 poems it includes: How conflict is shown in the poem How power is shown in the poem 5 quotations briefly explained A structural element in each poem A point about context in each poem

In this 16 slide powerpoint, I have selected 4 key quotations for each poem to annotate in detail with a focus on all 3 areas of assessment: A01: meanings A02: analysis of methods A03: Context/Themes This lesson is repeatable in the run up to the exam to revise all 60 quotations and their various layers of meaning. I have also included an answer sheet on A3 paper with all the slides on one page. How it works: Show students the 4 quotations and give them time to annotate them then reveal the teacher answers to compare. The teacher annotations are animated and appear one by one on the mouse click so you can talk through them. A successful lesson that doesn’t require any photocopying!

On the worksheet I made 40 pairs of quotations from the Power and Conflict poems. There is an even spread of key quotes from across the 18 poems. To revise making discriminating links, students need to explain how the 2 quotations present ideas about power and conflict in a similar and different way. Example of how to turn the pairs of quotations into a comparison: Both Ozymandias and My Last Duchess portray characters with the power to issue commands to explore the corrosive nature of power. In Ozymandias the ‘sneer of cold command’ suggests the statue has a cruel condescending attitude to his subjects. However, in ‘My Last Duchess’ the speaker ‘gave commands’ to arrange for the execution of his wife to reflect his controlling nature.

A grade 7 and a grade 8 slightly improved response to the following exam style question about Lady Macbeth. This is pretty similar to the May 2024 question but the featured extract was from Act 1 Scene 7 rather than Act 1 Scene 5. Starting with this speech (Act 1 Scene 5 ‘The raven himself is hoarse’) explain how far you think Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth as a powerful woman.Write about: • how Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth in this speech • how Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth in the play as a whole. Includes a grade 7 version and a grade 8 version for comparison. The grade 8 version has a more thoughtful introduction and conclusion and creates more of a debate. The PowerPoint contains colour coded annotations to showcase a deliberate and easy to imitate method for helping students structure a successful response. Also contains a grade 9 response analysing Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s marriage.

This resource summarises two ways of structuring a comparative poetry response for the power and conflict poems: the 4 paragraph ‘methods-based’ approach and the 2 paragraph ‘conceptual’ approach.
