Here you will find a detailed PowerPoint presentation for every single poem in the new iGCSE syllabus. In addition, there is a selection of 1000-word model essays responding to a variety of the poems to share with students. In other lessons, there are model paragraphs, colour-coded for clarity. Some of the poems have a supplementary YouTube video where I have broken down the poems for students to revise at home (more videos to come soon). The lessons have a very wide range of activities to engage students, and most poems have either line by line questions or line by line annotations (or both). This is all you need to be prepared to teach these 15 poems. I have also included a 16th poem (The Bay) that could be used as an “unseen” exam example. I have also made a full anthology for easy printing.

Poems covered here are:

  1. The City Planners
  2. The Planners
  3. The Man With Night Sweats
  4. Night Sweat
  5. Rain
  6. The Spirit Is Too Blunt An Instrument
  7. From Long Distance
  8. Funeral Blues
  9. He Never Expected Much
  10. The Telephone Call
  11. A Consumer’s Report
  12. Request To A Year
  13. On Finding A Small Fly Crushed In A Book
  14. Ozymandias
  15. Away, Melancholy
  16. Bonus Poem (The Bay)
  17. Full Printable Anthology (email me for anthology: underthevolcanoagain@gmail.com)
