Power and conflict
poetry anthology
, Key revision tips:
Pick core 6 poems not all of the 15
poems! Choose poems that cover a
wide range of themes. Still revise all
15 poems but focus on the 6 core
poems more.
Memorise key metaphors, structure
devices and the first and last lines of
each poem.
The argument and evidence (AO1
&AO2) are more important than AO3
(context).
Still try to include context as it
refines your mark
AO1: You need to compare in your
argument. You need to look at
similarities and differences for your
answer to be “Thoughtful and
developed.”
DO NOT focus on the plot of a poem
because this is not thematic. Those
who write about the plot of a poem
will maximize their marks at grade 4-6
whereas grade 7-9 students take
about themes.
