Edexcel GCSE English Literature Time and Place Poetry Devices Checklist Booklet

Pearson Edexcel GCSE English Literature (9-1) Poetry Anthology

This resource allows for a number of things:

• Students to make connections between poems
• Students to develop their skills in poetry essay planning
• Students to learn what things they need to be discussing and analysing in their essays

This booklet identifies 15 of the most common language and structure devices used in poems. It then provides a checklist so that students can note what poems in their Time and Place anthology use that given device. To take this task further students can annotate the title of the poem saying what the device means within the poem and what can be inferred form it; this will help them practise their analysis skills.

Providing your student with this booklet will ensure they have become comfortable in identifying the different devices commonly used in poems. PRACTISE MAKES PERFECT.
