A lesson introducing Unseen Poetry and what to expect in the exam paper. It explains to learners how to annotate a poem using the SMILE technique and they will analyse Plath’s poem ‘The Mirror.’ Please note: I created this PPT using mostly my own ideas, however, to create this lesson, I have also adapted/ pasted some information from other ‘FREE download’ poetry resources that I found on TES.

A worksheet to introduce KS3 or KS4 students to what to initially look for when they first read a poem. There are questions on the sheet to prompt them to read the poem and then answer the questions including: What the poem is about Why certain words and phrases are used What the mood and atmosphere of the poem is Who the narrator of the poem is. I have purposely left out the title of the poem, as I wanted my group to guess what the object ( the mirror) is.
