Ahhh…glorious poetry.

The last of my Lit revision booklets! poetry-revision-booklet-2 and of course a handy knowledge organiser for Power and Conflict Poetry (Power and Conflict Knowledge Organiser) and one for Unseen Poetry (Unseen Poetry Knowledge Organiser)

Here’s a useful little sheet for you to complete (it will remind you of the meanings/themes in each poem and help you decide which poems you might like to compare in the exam): anthology-themes

A blank anthology to help in your revision practice: blank-poetry-anthology

Just in case you forgot your mindmaps/context at school, here they are (scanned from Danny Kelly’s exercise book); use them to help you revise the key quotes, AO2 and AO3: Mindmaps and Extra contextual notes  To make life easier for you, I’ve narrowed down the quotes to 3 for each poem but you’ll need to know what you’re going to say (AO2/AO3) about the quotes: Key quotes for each poem  

And last but not least for the conflict collection, here’s a really good essay from Ed Webster: Ed Webster – poetry comp practice

As for the unseen poetry, here’s a nice resource which has two poems on each page: Eduqas – selection of unseen poems – useful for AQA  There are no questions accompanying the poems so go with the following: 1) In the first poem, how does the poet present the speaker’s feelings (30 minutes) and 2) In both poems, what are the similarities and/or differences between the ways the poets present those feelings? (15 minutes)
