Poppies - Jane Weir LA worksheets

Worksheets created to analyse the poem ‘Poppies’ by Jane Weir. Focus is on meaning and understanding, exploring the key imagery with lots of prompts and scaffolding to guide pupils. This has been created for LA pupils, where I am trying to steer away from simply identifying techniques and move further into WHY specific techniques/words have been used and what imagery it suggests.

Resource includes:

PRE-READING tasks: Context/Summary/Glossary page
READING tasks: Each stanza broken down with tasks to explore the imagery and a challenge task to complete.
POST-READING tasks: Deeper thinking questions; Lang techniques task; Themes based task; Essay style question.
