This resource is a full lesson on Shelley’s ‘Ozymandias’, part of the AQA power and conflict poem cluster for the GCSE examination.

- A news article on Rameses the Great and the discovery of his statue (possible lang paper 2 cross over work)
- information on the etymology of ‘Ozymandias’
- a picture puzzle for students to consider what the story of the poem may be
- background information on the real Ozymandias
- discussion of statements about the poem’s message
- finding evidence to support opinions
- analysis using STRIVE (pupil led)
