Love through the Ages: unseen poetry1 - 'Sonnet 65', AQA A-level particularly; suitable generally

Unseen poetry can seem daunting, especially when it could come from any period. So this resource begins to inculcate a simple, yet effective, strategy for approaching unseen poetry in general, while also focusing on 'Sonnet 65' in particular. The PP runs through the strategy with specific instructions to be followed on the worksheet by students. There are also feedback slides where some points are made as a stimulus - the idea is that students should contribute there ideas. The student worksheet contains the poem to be annotated and some fill in space to consolidate information. Page 2 gives an essay title and information in the guise of notes from 3 students that can be used along with the student's own ideas- this allows for subtle differentiation. The 'lesson plan' sheet is actually notes for the teacher in case they are unfamiliar with the poem. The sonnet handout is a note on the sonnet form, with the same information on A6 to save costs. Be aware that the AQA unseen poetry requires students to compare poems, but as this is a first there is no comparison. More unseen poetry will lead to comparison. Other than that, the question for the essay is modelled on the AQA style task.
