Unseen Poetry and Prose Cambridge IGCSE Scheme Unit of Work

This is a set of fully resourced lessons aimed at preparing students to answer unseen poetry and prose questions. Having found a lack of resources for both unseen poetry and prose I have created this resource which is designed to give students all the skills needed to approach the questions. This should take roughly 25 lessons to complete, although, it is easily adaptable to last more by giving students longer to develop annotation skills.

I have tried to make the texts as engaging as possible, and ensure it covers a broad range of literature: Kendrick Lamar, Dave, Billy Bragg, Shakespeare, Barret Browning, Osundare, Rupi Kaur, Maya Angelou, Dangaremba and others. It is not designed for students to study the context of these writer’s, but rather use their works as a way into studying unseen.

The unit has resources that can be easily adapted based on whether students have already studied the poetry anthology, and the novel already. There are differentiated resources to help with IGCSE essay writing included as well. There are also model paragraphs on a range of texts.
