Two printable PDF resources designed to accompany the Rescue Resource Higher Level Junior Cycle Poetry Workbook, for use with second- and third-year English classes.

The student workbook is sold separately and is not included in this purchase.

Teacher’s Annotated Guide — 21 pages

The guide covers ten poems, with an annotated poem page and detailed teaching notes for each. It includes:

• Explanations of meaning, themes, voice and tone
• Notes on imagery, language, sound and structure
• Explanations linking techniques to their effects
• Discussion questions with possible responses
• Teaching prompts to help students develop their analysis

Class Tests — 11 pages

Ten individual tests, plus a cover page, provide a quick way to check students’ understanding after studying each poem. Questions include:

• Recall and multiple choice
• Quotation completion
• True-or-false statements with corrections

These accompaniments are particularly suited to Higher Level groups and can be used for lesson preparation, classroom discussion, revision and checking learning.
