GCSE Revision Love and Relationships - Porphyria's Lover and Neutral Tones

AQA GCSE English Literature Love and Relationships Poetry – Exam Revision - A Comparative Answer on Porphyria’s Lover by Robert Browning and Neutral Tones by Thomas Hardy.

This presentation is designed to help you prepare your class to answer a GCSE English Literature question on AQA Love and Relationships Poetry. It is NOT intended to teach students the poems themselves – students should already be familiar with the two poems used within. It is designed for you to use later in the school year when the poetry has been fully covered and the students need to learn how to use this knowledge to write the best possible exam answers.

The presentation is entitled ’ Answering AQA Love and Relationships Poetry Questions’: this 31-slide PDF presentation has been carefully designed and created to help you guide your class through each part of the essay writing process. It examines each of the following elements: the AOs and the Mark Scheme, exam timing and weighting, essay structure, how to write an introduction, using ‘rough notes’ for planning, contents of the main body and how to write a conclusion. Most importantly, it features many extracts from a sample exam answer which are annotated to show the importance of using subject terminology, precise and judicious quotes and comparative links.

Also included is a one-page handout of student-friendly AOs and a set of Teacher’s Instructions.
