The unit begins with an introduction to the context of war relevant to the poem, through the use of a range of non-fiction texts (including images) to develop skills needed in AQA Language Paper 2. The unit then moves on the exploring each poem in related groups. The teaching of each poem is supported by PowerPoints and resources which include tasks to develop students’ knowledge, analysis and application of form, structure, language and context. Mid-point and end of unit assessment, along with models and feedback lessons are also provided to support teachers with the assessment cycle.
