AQA GCSE English Literature- Power and Conflict nature resources- For Grades 8-9

Here, I have compiled some perceptive points of analysis and context for the GCSE power and conflict anthology, specifically the poems centering on the natural world. These are:

‘Exposure’ by Wilfred Owen
‘Ozymandias’ by Percy Bysshe Shelley
Extract from ‘The Prelude’ by William Wordsworth
‘Storm on the Island’ by Seamus Heaney

In my experience of tutoring, I’ve found that these poems are often amongst those that students struggle the most with in the anthology. The content covered here is specifically catered towards students reaching for the top grades.
