My unseen poetry notes:
Initially, the poet presents…
- Immediate thoughts on title and question
- Read from sentence to sentence
- What is the poem about?
As the poem progresses.
- What was the writer’s purpose for writing this poem?
- Pick out language features
- What is overall sequence and structure and how does it relate to the purpose?
- What is the poetic form and why has this been used?
As the poem closes…
The final image of the poem…
- How does it end? Final image
8 marker…
- Two or three points of comparison on either speaker / ideas – form – language – language –
tone – end?
