KS3 Poems to Analyse Bundle

Here are a few of my favourite poems to begin my introduction to poetry unit for KS3 pupils (usually year 7)! This bundle includes: * A worksheet for Maya Angelou's "Life doesn't frighten me at all" * A worksheet for Dr.Seuss' "Oh, the places you'll go!" * A three-page worksheet for a comparative study of Alan Brownjohn's "We're going to see the rabbit" and Sheenagh Pugh's "Do you think we'll ever get to see Earth, Sir?" with a focus on the environmental themes. All worksheets focus predominantly on the key messages of the poems with some prompts to look at titles, imagery and word choice. The Angelou and Seuss poems are lighthearted but heartwarming and then the Brownjohn and Pugh poems dial up the severity slightly and ask the pupils to consider overarching feelings like regret, responsibility and preservation.
