Poetry Revision Templates | Create Your Own Study Notes

This resource is a set of BLANK poetry revision templates designed to help Junior Cycle English students actively create their own study notes.

Each page focuses on one poem and uses a clear, visual layout with illustrated prompts to guide students through key areas of understanding. Rather than providing pre-filled notes, the templates encourage students to engage with the poem, organise their ideas, and revise more effectively.

The visual elements and images on each page:
support comprehension
help students remember key ideas
make poetry revision less intimidating
appeal to visual learners
