Excellent resource which covers the all the main themes in the Power and Conflict cluster of poems. Can be used as a lesson or as revision homework. Compares poems alongside each other. Analysis includes: Power of Humans: Ozymandias and Duchess. Power of Nature: Storm on the Island and Exposure. Reality of Conflict: War Photographer and Poppies. Effects of Conflict: Bayonet Charge and Charge of the Light Brigade. Conflict of identity: Kamikaze and Émigrée. At the end of the Powerpoint, there is the start of a comparison essay for Kamikaze and Émigrée- I modelled meaning, structure and imagery/language and then included 4 comparison quotes that pupils can finish off in class. I have also included a comparative essay on COTLB and Bayonet Charge. My current year 10 and 11s found this extremely useful as a way of revising.

Theme lesson covering the main themes: Ambition, Kingship, Violence, Guilt, Loyalty/Betrayal, Supernatural and Good vs Evil. Group work lesson- fantastic for revising! In groups pupils discuss one of the following themes in Macbeth and consider how it relates to the play. They then complete their theme worksheet with: A summary of their key theme, including any motifs it links to and how their key theme links to which parts of the play. They then have to add quotations and techniques to the worksheet. Once all the worksheets have been completed, I photocopied them into booklets for their theme revision at home. The resource includes a summary of each key theme, motifs linked to that theme and key quotes linking to that theme- everything pupils need to complete their worksheets. Please also see my theme lesson on A Christmas Carol and An Inspector Calls.
