A set of blank copies for the 15 poems for the AQA English Literature Power and Conflict Cluster.
You can print these and annotate on the different language techniques and structural points to remember, as you would when you open the exam paper where you will find a copy of the poem you must write about. Selecting the best quotes to highlight will give you an idea of which quotes you should be learning from each of the poems. This way of engaging with the source material will help you to consolidate your understanding of the poems and help you on your way to a Grade 9.
