A series of lesson created for year ten students studying 'Remains' by Simon Armitage for AQA GCSE English Literature 9-1 Power and Conflict Cluster.
The 40 slide power point is accompanied by detailed notes from myself explaining the tasks completed and how my class (top set y10) responded in order to inform your own planning/differentiation.
All lesson objectives are taken from AQA's AO's with one lesson explicitly focused on writing comparatively (with model examples) about poet's use of form and structure (style).
Lesson 1/3: Covers the context informing Armitage's 'Remains' mainly, the 'Not Dead' documentary clips (shortened for your convenience and ease), allowing students to empathise and engage with the story of Guardsman Tromans whose story informs Armitage's poem. It will also allow students to look at soldiers before/during/after war looking at Lalage Snow's photographs of The Royal Regiment of Scotland. Second half of the lesson (may spill over into two lessons dependant on group) will cover the form and structure of the poem. Includes information from Armitage himself on his choice of structure/form and why it's important to him as a poet. Full form and structure grid provided and completed version for staff convenience.
Lesson 3: Analysis of Armitage's language - stanza by stanza interrogation. Teacher notes (written by me) to aid your class analysis
Lesson 4: Comparing structure/form of poems (can change this to language if you prefer/class depending) - recap structure of exam in order to increase familiarity with layout. Example of how to compare structure/form of poems quite obviously - encourage students to analyse how this is done and then emulate this in their own writing.
This bundle includes:
* 40 slide power point
* Links to shortened contextual videos for your convenience
* Images ready to be printed and stuck in for students' books
* Images and notes on soldiers before/during/after war
* Homework activities set
* Form and structure grid (students)
* Form and structure grid (completed for teacher)
* Teacher poem notes
* Top examples of comparative writing of poem's structure/form
