Conflict Poetry KS3 full scheme of work

This a full scheme of work complete with Takeaway Homework and has an Anthology to go alongside (available free to download).

The lessons have levelled outcomes and levelled challenge throughout and encourage students to consider a variety of forms of conflict, not just war.

It has been created to lead into the Love and Relationships AQA poetry so makes use of many of the conflict poems.

Students engaged incredibly well and enjoyed the conversations that arose.
Some of the poems were quite provocative and you may need to decide which you want to keep e.g. Education for Leisure (which we swapped for Poison tree in the lesson) or Those Bastards in their Mansions.

Lessons include a create your own sonnet
Research the missing topics in Checking Out Me History - plus a lesson that has students deliver what they learnt.
Lessons on the purpose and impact of a poem’s structure and how changing this alters the meaning and reading of the poem.

Hope you enjoy it!
