The following resource is a video I have made that analyses Robert Frost's 'For Once, Then Something'
I use it for the CCEA specification: The Study of Poetry 1900-Present and it contains notes on: language and imagery, rhyme, rhythm, structure, tone, speaker, analysis of title, context etc.
I have uploaded it in MP4.
I generally ask students to analyse the poem using question prompts in class and then send them home to watch the videos to ensure I am expedient with my time management. It also ensures students can discuss the poem to understand it fully during class time and then get the thorough analysis required at home.
Hopefully you find this useful.
Thanks
*NOTE: When I upload more analytical videos I will be compiling them into a Bundle so it is cheaper for you to purchase!

A sample introduction and paragraph on Form/Structure for the CCEA AS Level Study of Poetry 1900-Present unit. This looks at Heaney's 'Personal Helicon' and Frost's 'Birches' and examines the theme of self discovery. Note: this is NOT a full essay, merely a starting point.
I have given this to my students then asked them to finish the essay, looking at Imagery and Language, Tone and Theme.

This is a compilation of a few KS3 resources I have made to help students tackle the presentational aspect of media texts. It has been made with a view to preparing KS3 students for the new CCEA GCSE: Reading to access media texts.
It focuses on Camera Angles, Shot Types and Camera Movements.
It could be used for a Media class, reading film, Film Studies or indeed for the GCSE CCEA spec.

This a self-assessment form for students to fill in, based on The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. However, it can easily be adapted to suit other written tasks.
It is for KS3 students and the aim is that they read the feedback comments / annotation on their work and tick accordingly. They then review how many Yes/No ticks they have and set themselves a target based on what they have identified as their weaknesses.
Used with a low ability Year 9 Class in conjunction with a Fantasy Landscapes Unit.
Asks the student to identify verbs, adjectives and adverbs and explain what impact they have.
