This engaging lesson is designed for students following the Edexcel A Level English Literature (9ET0) course, focusing on Ros Barber’s Material from the Poems of the Decade anthology.

- A whole class reading of the poem with some initial questions about its themes and imagery.
- An quotation gathering and note-making activity centred on the theme of motherhood.
- An exam style question (single poem only; not comparative) with an exemplar response.
- Clear and simple success criteria are provided for students whilst they write their own response to the question.
