Power and Conflict Poetry Cluster Context and Comparison grid activity for New English GCSE

Based on NEW GCSE LIT2; These 2 resources can be used jointly or individually. One is a context grid which isolates the social and historical contextual background information that year 11 students will need to include in their exam responses in order to achieve higher marks; and the other is a grid which can be blown up onto A3 paper and used as an activity in class for revision or even for initial teaching of the poems. It includes the names of the poets, the titles of the poems and a column for each of the important aspects regarding poetry analysis (MITSL - Meaning, Imagery, Tone, Structure, Language). Also has a column to write in the key quotes of each poem as a means of memorising them for the exam, and lastly has a column to note down which other poems of the cluster each poem can be compared to.
