AQA English Literature Paper 2 Unseen poetry practice

Unseen poetry practice for AQA GCSE English Literature Paper 2. PowerPoint outlines what to expect in Paper 2 and assessment areas. Using Chinua Achebe's 'A Mother in a Refugee Camp' and 'Praise Song for my Mother' by Grace Nichols, the lesson encourages group work, with students working independently to annotate the unseen material, before feeding back to the rest of the class. Lesson works towards preparing for both the extended and comparative exam questions, which can be used in the following lesson or homework tasks. Annotated versions of both poems are included in this resource, either to be used as useful time-saver aid for the teacher, or at the closing of the lesson, to highlight other areas the students could have discussed.

I appreciate all constructive criticism, so I hope you are able to take time to review this resource.
