Poems from the Duffy, Armitage and Pre1914 Anthology.

Pupils and teachers can use this sheet to assess.

Pupils complete the booklet on their own, under exam conditions. This results in pupils studying a range of conflict/war poems and an essay on the poem Futlity. This task can also be combined with the futile nature of conflict in Romeo and Juliet- AQA Literature Controlled Assessment.

Not quite as good as the original Macbeth version but it works! It takes approximately one hour to act the whole play out.

Suitable for pupils from Portugal- differentiated for one of my own pupils who speak little English.

Teach pupils about layout, structure and imagery.

Just like the HOLES computerquest and the computer quest for the CSI scheme of work- this mini activity gives them an eye for detail and analysis through opitcal illusions. The instructions for creating the game are the same for Holes, thats why I have added the Holes instruction as an attachment.

I made this video to help pupils see the poem from my own perspective. With poetry, all of us have our own ideas so if you dont feel the images/music go with the poem then please do not make a negative comment. Poetry is written to reach out to us in different ways. I hope you find it useful- my last year 11s loved it! CAN YOU ALSO RATE OR LEAVE A COMMENT. Thanks- it's nice to know if others have found my resource useful.

Based on The Poems From 2005 onwards Anthology.
