GCSE POETRY - POWER AND CONFLICT (AQA) - FRESHLY REVISED MAY 21, 2016

This resource was considerably added to/revised on May 21, 2016. It now contains a page for student notes and the analysis of each poem is extensive and would likely be of assistance to any department planning around this particular poetry cluster.

It shows Title / Author / Birth-Date / Poem Structure / Context / Subject-overview / Poem Exploration, in very easy to analyse six-column tables across 32 x A4 sheets (or prints as a 16-page booklet) - note that the poetry tables take up 15 sheets, or 32 if you include the student 'notes' pages and the resource cover.

Originally revised on May 12, 2016 after teaching/analysis of: 'Poppies' by Jane Weir; Ozymandias; London; Extract From 'The Prelude'; Poppies; The Charge Of The Light Brigade; Exposure - used alongside a copy of each poem.

A fantastic starting-point for student exploration, noting comparisons and interpreting facts in relation to all 15 poems. Compare and Contrast at a glance / Formulate Ideas and Opinions / Interpret / Examine Metaphorical Content.
Includes:
Ozymandias; London; Extract from, ‘The Prelude’
My Last Duchess; The Charge of the Light Brigade; Exposure; Storm on the Island; Bayonet Charge; Remains
