This half term, I am going to work on my development of language analysis, specifically looking at examples of unseen poetry in order to revise effectively for GCSE English Literature.
AO1—respond to texts critically and imaginatively; select and evaluate relevant textual detail to illustrate and support interpretations.
AO2—explain how language, structure and form contribute to writers’ presentation of ideas, themes and settings.
To be successful in my homework, I need to include:
Tasks that build up to helping students complete their project are listed in here.

Complete the questions and analysis on the poem ‘Dad’ by Elaine Feinstein.
Complete the questions and analysis on the poem ‘Brendon Gallacher’ by Jackie Kay.
