Grade 9 The Emigree Lesson (With Comparison to Kamikaze) Power and Conflict AQA

This lesson covers key content for the poem, three carefuly chosen quotes with steps that students can use to easily analyse them as well as prepared notes, extensive analysis and exploration of context, example comparative points to another poem from the anthology, as well as a writing frame to support all students and make the comparison paragraphs easy work.

Key vocabulary, terminology, and paragraph structuring is included, as are opportunities for students to mark and improve their own work through target codes. A summary of the exam paper is included, so students can prepare to see the real thing.

Quotes include:
There once was a country… I left it as a child
But my memory of it is sunlight-clear
for it seems I never saw it in that November
The city “may be at war, it may be sick with tyrants” but “the worst news I receive of it cannot break my original view” which is “the bright, filled paperweight”

Works towards:
Compare how identity is presented in 'The Emigree’ and one other poem.
