Unseen Poetry and Unseen Poetry Comparison

These lessons support students with answering the unseen poetry questions on the Literature exam (AQA).

These lessons provide students with clear and simple strategies to approach unseen poems. The poems are focused on the speakers’ feelings and the use of extended metaphor to convey emotions.
