A 50 slide presentation of 4 lessons designed to introduce and consolidate approaches to the unseen poetry section of the English Literature exam. The lessons link to the new AQA specification but could easily be adapted to suit other specifications. Each lesson contains a wide variety of activities including individual and group work, assessment opportunities and model answers.
Lesson 1 - introduction to unseen poetry working through an analysis of 'Hard Frost' by Andrew John Young.
Lesson 2 - unseen analysis of 'Nettles' by Vernon Scannell.
Lesson 3 - unseen analysis of 'In the Orchard After Midnight' by Brian Patten focusing on mood and tone.
Lesson 4 - introduction to comparing unseen poems for the final question on Paper 2 of the English Literature exam.
Lessons 3 and 4 can be used in conjunction with the AQA unseen poetry resource booklet which can be found on the AQA website.
I have only included the first stanza of each poem due to copyright reasons but have included clear links as to where you can access the rest of the poem within the presentation.

This resource has been fantastic for introducing my year 10s the the unseen poetry. One question: which poem of Patten's did you use for Lesson 3? I can't seem to see the title anywhere?
Good set of lessons. Works really well as an introduction to the Unseen Poetry section of the exam. Easy to follow and a range of tasks.
