This is an assessment for students to complete on the new AQA GCSE Literature (2017) comparative anthology question. The question sheet (which is included), sets the following assessment: In Remains, Armitage presents how people are affected by war. Compare how Armitage presents how people are affected by war to how any other poet presents the same theme. This is a 'made up' question that is marked using the teacher's knowledge as indicative comment, as well as the standard poetry mark-scheme from the AQA SAMs - meaning a level can be assigned but not a grade (unless a school is using PiXL spreadsheets or has a different system). After the teacher has marked the assessments, the two lessons can then be used to help students to understand HOW to improve answers.

This then leads to students trying to break down the poem, into MILES - Meaning, Images, Language techniques / use, Emphasis / Emotion and Tone, Structure. Using an example of how to do this, students are then led to use annotation to create TEE paragraphs about the poem.
