AQA Poetry Revision Workbook
Note: the current file is set up for POWER AND CONFLICT> you can change this by just changing the titles to LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS and changing the titles of the poems throughout!
A completely editable revision booklet that allows the student to break down the poem into various sections:
1. The importance of title and structure: students are given guiding questions to answer.
2. Developing meaning
3. Imagery and Language Devices
4. Word choice relating to theme
5. Context and themes
6. Practice questions: Students identify the two poems they will be comparing and which theme they will address based on their previous answers> Teachers can fill in these questions for them OR assign them as a weekly homework task.
7. Self Assess> in this section students are expected to fill in a grid of three criteria they want to meet, how they have met it in their answer and how they are going to improve. I have purposely left the criteria blank as it will greatly depend on the skill level of the student.
Note: This booklet can be used alongside teaching the poems instead of revision.
