AQA A-Level English Language and Literature - Introduction to Poetry (Heaney)

My introduction unit for A-Level Language and Literature. It assumes that the academic voices of the students needs sharpening somewhat. I source a lot of stuff from various corners of the net and use it in the power points - pay particular attention to the notes element of the power points by the way. I also include a “model essay” the purpose of which is to get the students to move away from their formulaic essay structures that they have used in their GCSEs.

Think of this as a starting point that may need a little shaping to suit the needs of your class.
