This popular revision sheet that I created back in 2016 but updated in subsequent years contains concise notes for all 15 poems under the following headings:
Power
Conflict
5 Key quotations
Structure
Context
In addition to the main resource, there are various differentiated suggestions and resources to ensure students use the revision grid effectively.
I have added an enhanced version for 2023 which includes explanations of the top 5 quotations for each poem and a PowerPoint full of ideas about how to use the knowledge organiser to revise.
There are 3 differentiated accompanying worksheets that direct students towards effective use of the revision grid by writing the opening to a range of questions with different levels of prompting.
Includes 15 sample AQA style questions (one per poem) and PowerPoint containing some annotations for every poem.
You may wish purchase this as part of a power and conflict bundle which also includes lots of other revision resources on the poems along with several writing frames.
