Winter Swans: Owen Sheers
This is a thorough and comprehensive 30-slide lesson on Owen Sheers’ poem ‘Winter Swans’, which is studied as part of AQA’s GCSE Literature anthology on ‘Love & Relationships’.
This PowerPoint unpicks key themes of romantic love, separation and reconciliation with close analysis of language, form and structure.
Also included are questions/tasks for students and a ‘mock’ essay question in which students must compare ‘Winter Swans’ to another poem, just like in the real AQA exam.
Also included is a table for students to complete on the poem to help compartmentalise their notes.
