AQA Anthology Poetry - Structure strip for exam response (AQA)

This resource provides students with a clear and logical structure to follow when responding to exam questions on the AQA GCSE Poetry anthology. The structure can be applied to both the Love and Relationships cluster of poems and the Power and Conflict cluster of poems.

A good way to use the resource is to talk through the structure with students, explaining each section and discussing the logical progression of points. Students can then glue them in their exercise books to refer back to for support when composing their own responses.

Teachers may wish to use, withdraw, use again the structure strip so that students’ independence is developed and enhanced. Also, they make for an excellent differentiation tool.
