Designed originally for the old OCR A Level Literature Specification, this powerpoint could also serve as a general example of how to read and analyse poetry at A Level. It was designed originally for, and tested on a very able group. It was used by those students primarily as an independent revision resource.

The slides have been carefully designed to look attractive, and their are hyperlinks embedded to make transitions between relevant slides quick and easy.
