This is a poetry analysis methodology for GCSE English Literature students that aids the consideration of the primary elements of poetry: meaning, imagery, tone, structure, and language. The first item in this resource acts as an introduction to poetry analysis and, later, a study and revision aid to enable fluent analysis of poetry. It is ideal for Unseen Poetry (or poems from the associating poetry clusters usually included in English Literature Paper 2, but currently removed due to COVID). This guide breaks down poetry analysis into 5 primary areas of focus, highlighting some of the aspects to consider for each of these broad criteria. It introduces and aids revision of key poetic techniques, and encourages critical thinking and individual interpretation of how the poet employs these techniques. It also requires the student to think about how all of these devices and aspects of the poem contribute to the overall meaning of the poem, and how the poet uses these techniques to explore the themes pervading the text. The second item is a blank template for the student to note down ideas, devices, and aspects they notice in the poem they are working through during the lesson. This can then be repeated to cement poetry analysis skills, and used as revision or homework exercises to help hone students’ independent work. Although this is created with poetry analysis in mind, all of these areas of enquiry are relevant when analysing any literary text, so this provides students with the foundational skills necessary to approach both poetry and prose. It is also very useful to work through this prior to approaching Shakespeare. The skills covered in this resource are transportable and fundamental to both English Literature and Language GSCE.

A whole lesson and worksheet (suitable for KS3 and KS4) which encourages students to consider how an author can use symbolism in Gothic Fiction. Students are first given a definition of symbolism and are asked to consider a variety of symbols and what they represent. Students read a short extract. Using the sentence starters provided, they then make inferences based on the imagery of a ticking clock, a hospital bed, and a woman’s hand compared to ‘pale marble’ to explore how it could symbolise illness or death. In pairs students complete the worksheet and consider what certain Gothic features could represent. They then come up with two of their own and share with the rest of the class. Finally, students are given a choice of two images. They must write a piece of descriptive writing based on the image of their choice and must try to include symbolism. This could also work as a Halloween themed lesson or as part of a Creative Writing scheme of work. I often taught this lesson together with my Gothic Horror writing lesson available here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gothic-horror-creative-writing-lesson-11235636
