Comparing Poetry. Power and Conflict. Unique mini scheme, created by AQA Examiner/teacher

Comparing the 15 poems of the Power and Conflict anthology is the essence of the examination yet it can often be tricky to embed this into lessons or teach students how to compare such a lot of content.

This scheme has been created to not only break down exactly how to compare certain poems but helps students to develop the skills to do this themselves.

This resource includes:

• An introduction to comparing poems with a focus on comparing London and Ozymandias.
• Detailed powerpoints focusing on comparing Exposure and Charge of the Light Brigade and applying this to comparing other poems.
• A detailed lesson teaching students to compare Charge of the Light Brigade and Emigree, a vital lesson in how to compare the same poem to another for different reasons.
• A detailed lesson teaching students how to compare War Photographer and Remains.
• A model essay response on how to compare Remains and Poppies.
• Resources to help students develop comparative links between all 15 poems.
• Worksheets to help students compare any two poems with prompts and examples.

This outstanding resource truly focuses on what the examination requires, how to write a response and encourages students to focus on the wider comparative aspects of power and conflict.

EliteEnglishGCSE has also created individual lessons for all 15 poems for the Power and Conflict anthology with a comprehensive breakdown of every individual poem challenging students to Grade 9 and beyond and supporting the less able.

These resources include a range of engaging yet challenging exercises for all students to achieve and are already a proven hit in the classroom!
