Poetry Scheme of Work: Heroes and Villains

This scheme of work aims to familiarise students with poetry and to get them ready for the type of analysis expected with the new AQA Literature specification. We have used Character and Voice poems from the old Moon on the Tides anthology to do this and teach KS3 the necessary skills they need.

This is a full, seven week scheme of work that is aimed at high ability Key Stage 3 students but could be used for KS4. It consists of up to 26 lessons (depending on pace and ability this can be cut down/altered), 7 weekly homework activities, 1 mini and 1 full assessment and all PowerPoint/activities/worksheets required. I have also included fully annotated copies of each poem for teachers to revise/students to study.

There is a free sample of Lessons 1 and 2 to download before you decide to buy - please do have a look!

There are a range of activities covering all assessment objectives and using the new AQA grading system throughout. There is also a written SOW to guide you on how to use each resource.

I hope you enjoy teaching them as much as I do!
