This resource includes a full lesson on Amitage’s poem ‘Clown Punk’. It originally formed part of a scheme for year 9 looking at a wide variety of poetry in preparation for their GCSE study, but would be suitable for any GCSE group as practice. The lesson approaches the poem as an unseen text, helping pupils develop poetic analysis skills (for AQA, but would work for any exam board).
The PPT includes:
- Introduction to the punk movement through images
- A task comparing clowns and punks
- A gap fill exercise encouraging pupils to consider the poet’s vocabulary choices
- guided light touch annotation (including focus questions to help pupils)
- Debate/ oracy cross over (where pupils plan and complete a Harkness style discussion)

BUNDLE - Poetry: full scheme of work, range of poems for GCSE/KS3, introduction, analysis and unseen skills
This bundle includes a range of poetic study with a lot of cross over to creative tasks, designed originally as a scheme for year 9 as an introduction to poetic study. Roughly 12-16 full lessons included. The scheme aims to develop approaches to understanding and interpreting poetry in a pupil-centred way, without the teacher dictating notes. It builds analysis skills and aims to help pupils understand why people write poetry. It would form a great introduction to poetic analysis, or for developing unseen skills required for the AQA literature exams. This bundle contains a whopping £18 worth of resources (when sold separately) and every lesson has been tried and tested. It also touches on creative writing and oracy, with built in tasks that springboard from the poems studied. Poems included: Medusa Hitcher Salome Last Duchess Clown Punk About His Person Sonnet 18 The Raven Resistance (Armitage's new Ukraine-Russia poem) PLUS an introductory lesson looking at 4 other poems!

Bundle
Poetry - unseen + how to compare (Clown Punk - Armitage + Salome - Duffy) 3 lessons, AQA
This bundle contains 3-4 lessons on Clown Punk and Salome, originally written as part of a scheme for year 9 looking at a range of poetry in preparation for GCSE. It was written for AQA but could be tweaked for other boards. It contains full lessons on each poem, in a pupil-centred approach (encouraging students to explore the poetry for themselves rather than rely on teacher dictation of notes), which helps develop unseen poetry skills. It then moves on to compare the two poems to each other, exploring a possible approach to this. The PPT is flexible in that you can teach it as unseen comparison, or use it to help develop comparative skills for the anthology cluster. When sold separately, these resources retail at £3.30
