AQA GCSE Poetry Power and Conflict Knowledge Organisers

Knowledge organisers (double sided) outlining the key content and devices in each poem, along with an explanation of the techniques used. Can be used as a foundation for teaching or given to students who have missed poems and quickly need to plug the gaps with a few quality ideas rather than masses of ‘fluff’.

All ideas in the knowledge organisers are my own, gathered over the years through teaching and discussions. I do not claim that these are the ‘right’ answer because that is the joy of this subject- there is more than one interpretation! For poems such as ‘Tissue’ though, I have used my own interpretation of the poem as an anchor to help build students’ understanding around a concept first.

Suitable for all sets and easily adapted to pitch at a higher/ lower ability.
