English Literature Poem Analysis Template

A resource useful for any year group studying poetry in order for them to maximise their potential in analysing the poetry. This resource in particular was used for A level students studying Tragedy and the poetry of Keats, therefore three of the categories include ‘Connections to Keats’, ‘Connections to Romanticism’ and ‘Connections to Tragedy’. This, however, can be changed and adapted to suit whoever the author is, or whatever the genre is. Other categories include:

• Characters
• Themes
• Methods
• Settings
• Possible meanings/messages
• Critical views of the poem
