This well-presented PowerPoint contains fifteen engaging one-hour lessons (190 slides) that focus on preparing students for AQA’s GCSE English Literature Paper 2: Section C - Unseen Poetry (8702).

All of the questions are written in the style of the GCSE exam so that students are familiar with the format in advance of sitting the qualification. There are weekly unseen poetry essay homework tasks, as well as three extra slides with exam-based questions and tasks that could be used as cover work or as extra questions for revision.
