Comparing Power and Conflict Poems
A range of resources about how to compare Power and Conflict poems which include:
10 writing frames
Model paragraphs
40 pairs of quotations that are useful for comparing
using a revision grid to plan comparisons
and lots of other ideas
Revise Power and Conflict poems by pairing 40 sets of quotations to make discriminating comparisons
On the worksheet I made 40 pairs of quotations from the Power and Conflict poems. There is an even spread of key quotes from across the 18 poems.
To revise making discriminating links, students need to explain how the 2 quotations present ideas about power and conflict in a similar and different way.
Example of how to turn the pairs of quotations into a comparison:
Both Ozymandias and My Last Duchess portray characters with the power to issue commands to explore the corrosive nature of power. In Ozymandias the ‘sneer of cold command’ suggests the statue has a cruel condescending attitude to his subjects. However, in ‘My Last Duchess’ the speaker ‘gave commands’ to arrange for the execution of his wife to reflect his controlling nature.

English Language Paper 1 Q5 AQA 2018 - Describing an old man's face using 275 precise adjectives
This lesson was inspired by the AQA 2018 English Language Paper 1 Question 5. Students were asked to describe the face of an old man. To help students improve their description, I have created a bank of 275 words that students can use to add precision to their descriptions.
The follow up tasks gives students 8 images of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth (Polanski version). Students must select the adjectives carefully to describe one of the 8 images. Peers then have to work out which image they have described from the quality of the description.
The plenary asks students to write down their favourite words to describe each aspect of the face.
275 adjectives to describe a face for English Language Paper 1 Question 5
Inspired by the image of the old man in the 2018 AQA English Language exam, I have collated and categorised 275 words to describe a face onto a worksheet to help students with their descriptive writing.
Students found this useful in helping them to improve the precision of their characters descriptions for English Language Paper 1.
