This chart is a great revision resource. It enables students to view all of the poems on one page and to see thematic connections between them. This is helpful for both remembering the poems and exploring their themes.
Because 'power' has been added to the collection this year, the first column provides space for students to think about how each poem fits within the collection title. There are then 9 themes (and two spaces for extra ideas) that students can tick if they feel they apply to each poem. When the chart is complete, it can be used to think about how the different poems respond to a theme in different ways (e.g. memory as cherished or as tortuous; being rejected or rejecting something, etc). This can lead into selecting poems from the chart for practice at comparative essays around one of the themes.
