Eduqas Unseen Poetry

A really clear 30 slide powerpoint that takes students step-by-step through the unseen poetry questions of the Eduqas exam board. It uses two lovely, accessible poems that deal with the relationships between a child and an older person.

The first half of the powerpoint tackles the single poem using ‘Follower’ by Seamus Heaney’ and includes a sample top mark answer.

The second half then helps students develop the skills to compare the poems, using ‘Climbing My Grandfather’ by Andrew Waterhouse. Again, there is a sample top mark answer.

I have used this powerpoint many times with my students and it works really well.

With a little adaptation (just cutting down the sample comparison answer), it can easily be used for the AQA unseen poetry question.

Poems not included.
