A slightly different, more interesting take on poetry! Designed for top-set year 9 - could be used for KS4.

Poems:
I wanna be yours by John Cooper Clarke/
Daddy by Sylvia Plath/
Education For Leisure by Carol Ann Duffy/
Kid by Simon Armitage/
This is just to say... by William Carlos Williams

Per poem, there is:
A clip of the poet reading
A set 'method' for initial, independent analysis
Contextual information - lots of clips here!
Questions to guide them in annotating
A challenge section dedicated to applying a particular literary theory to the poem
An assessment question with a peer/self-assessment table

Also, there's a bit of theory at the beginning on poetry in general, a final assessment task, homework ideas dotted throughout, and an end-of-unit student voice/ review task.

If you're after a video-clip-heavy lesson or two, the section on Education for Leisure has a small documentary on the Columbine Massacre. It also has a small section on applying theories about Existentialism to the poem which I think has quite a cool clip from Kill Bill to help explain it.
