This is great for those teaching poetry at KS4 and KS5.

Lesson comes from a dystopian scheme of work. Students will be required to analyse the way in which an author of a non-fiction text structured their text. They will also be expected to identify and evaluate the most impactful technique used by the author.

Connections are made with the real world through the use of an article about Donald Trump.
