Post-lesson poetry write ups

Hi Y11,

See! Your very own revision egg!


Last year, the run-up to the exam was a particularly tight thing. It was speed poetry at its speediest. Because of this, I decided to write a series of post-lesson write ups to ensure that key ideas about each poem didn't get lost in the rush.

This year, we've got more time to prepare properly and to make sure that you've thought about the links between the poems.

But I thought it would be useful to put all of those posts together in one place so that you can look at them when you need to. So here they are:


My most popular post is still this model answer to a question comparing 'Ozymandias' to 'The River God'.

You can find lots of other poetry resources by clicking on 'Character and Voice' in the browse by topic menu, here --------------------------------->

Finally, some links for poems which are not mentioned above. Here are two essential articles on 'Medusa' and 'Singh Song' by the authors themselves.

Happy revision. As always, feel free to get in touch with any questions about the poetry - or the exams in general.


Mr M
