Kamikaze GCSE Poetry Anthology

This PowerPoint presentation is targeted towards year 10/11 GCSE pupils.
It is suitable for levels 5-6 but could be adapted for lower grade students.
The lesson requires a pre-reading of the poem which could have been given as homework.
To begin with, pupils should try to match the images with lines/sections of the poem. For lower ability students, you could cut out the images and respective lines and get pupils to match them.
Pupils should be familiarised with marking criteria and make notes if they need to.
Slides 3-5 explore specific terms which should be further discussed to enable students to have a thorough knowledge of background.
Slides 6-12 contain a breakdown of the poem with accompanying questions for pupils to answer. These could be printed off and stuck on large sheets of sugar paper so that a jigsaw activity could take place.
Slide 13 can be printed off or drawn up in exercise books. This type of format can be used for all anthology poems.
Slide 14 can be used as a group task to assist pupils in how to compare critical points in poems.
Slide 15 is a written answer and teacher should talk through the example and ask pupils to grade it, with justifications.
Slides 16 and 17 propel students into writing their own exam style answer. Pupils to use mark scheme and prompts.
For the less confident pupils they could start their answer at a lower grade then improve it as they go along.
