Every lesson has line by line questions and line by line analysis. In addition to this, I have included a vast range of activities for every single poem, including: drama and creative writing tasks to help first readings and develop vocabulary; model paragraphs and model essays; essay plans; quizzes; and much more. The PowerPoints are visually clear and striking. Each poem has an additional PDF with thought-provoking questions for students to engage with the poem at home beforehand; this has also been included as a Word document, in case you wish to add questions or edit. The main presentations work best with PowerPoint, but can be used in other formats such as Google Slides and PDF converter.
You might consider sharing the PowerPoints with your students so that they can revise from the line by line analysis and model essays. If sharing, please consider purchasing the whole school version.
