Based on the Eduqas poetry anthology, this unit is comprised of 18 poetry lessons (which can be extended to 36 lessons if you include the assessment lessons).
Each PowerPoint explores a different poem in isolation and is the perfect introduction to poetry for a Year 9 group. This can also be used as an unseen unit for GCSE if you do not teach Eduqas. Eduqas questions lend themselves well to unseen analysis as they are comprised of two parts - one question focuses on the poem and the second question asks students to compare that poem to another in the anthology.
You will need to download the Eduqas poetry anthology or print off copies of the poems from the PowerPoint slides.
This bundle comprises 18 poetry PowerPoints based on the poems from the Eduqas Poetry Anthology: ‘A Wife in London’; ‘Afternoons’; ‘As Imperceptibly as Grief’; ‘Cozy Apologia’; ‘Death of a Naturalist’; ‘Dulce et Decorum Est’; ‘Excerpt from the Prelude’; ‘Hawk Roosting’; ‘Living Space’; ‘London’; ‘Mametz Wood’; ‘Ozymandias’; ‘She Walks in Beauty’; ‘Sonnet 43’; ‘The Manhunt’; ‘The Soldier’; ‘To Autumn’; and ‘Valentine’.
Each PowerPoint contains the following:
A starter discussion activity
Contextual information
Form and structural information
Detailed annotated questions which incorporate a challenging range of poetic terminology - guided poetry analysis

An optional additional lesson guiding students through an exemplar examination question
