This Year 7 Scheme of Work provides an introduction to studying and analysing poetry at KS3. All in one self-contained booklet, it is perfect for online learning.
Each section of the booklet introduces a different poem or style of poetry with the aim of encouraging pupils to express ideas and feelings about what they’ve read, to use subject terminology confidently, and to build up eventually to writing an academic analytical essay. Rich in cultural capital, poets include Wordsworth, Heaney, William Carlos Williams, Frost, Phoebe Stuckes, and others.
All of this with accompanying model paragraphs, scaffolded writing frames, word lists, and an emotion vocabulary wheel.
It could easily be adapted for KS2 or for Year 8.

This could be modified easily for KS3 and KS4 as well. Very useful for helping students to identify Gothic conventions when looking at new texts or extracts.
