Please note: The unit does not contain line by line analysis of the poems. I would recommend litcharts or poetry prof if that is what you are looking for. Instead this unit provides a wide range of lessons that are designed to teach analytical skills and essay writing, rather than attempting to get students to regurgitate line by line analysis. Contact me at mrisherwoodliterature@outlook.com if you would like a free sample lesson for one of the poems before you buy the whole scheme. It contains full lessons, with all materials for teaching the entire anthology. Including: engaging “ways in” to each poem, vocabulary building starters, contextual learning material tied to English Language IGCSE questions, practice exam questions for each poem, models, scaffolds, example thesis statements, and annotation questions. The scheme is designed to take roughly 45 lessons to complete and can be extended through the addition of timed essays, or shortened by removing the English Language elements or simply looking at the texts without writing responses to questions. This scheme of work is designed to integrate IGCSE English Language skills alongside English Literature skills. Each poem also contains tasks which are designed to engage students in the subject matter, from mime, to drawing, to exploration via google street view. The hope is that students learn to find poetry exciting. The model examples, checklists and strategies are a culmination of the understanding of the course developed whilst working as an examiner. All IGCSE English Language questions have mark schemes which I have constructed. Poems: Nancy Fotheringham Cato, ‘The Road’ Sarah Jackson, ‘The Instant of My Death’ Arun Kolatkar, ‘The Bus’ Julius Chingono, ‘At the Bus Station’ Imtiaz Dharker, ‘These are the Times We Live in’ Elizabeth Jennings, ‘The Enemies’ Sampurna Chattarji, ‘Boxes’ W H Auden, ‘The Capital’ Arthur Yap, ‘an afternoon nap’ Elizabeth Smither, ‘Plaits’ Elizabeth Daryush, ‘Children of Wealth’ Thomas Love Peacock, ‘Rich and Poor or, Saint and Sinner’ Musaemura Zimunya, ‘A Long Journey’ Stevie Smith, ‘Touch and Go’ George Szirtes, ‘Song’ Also included is a recommended structure for the course based on the order I wish I had taught the poems in.
