A complete unit of work (17 resources) on the set Keats poems from the Romantic Poetry anthology for Paper 3 Section B of the current Edexcel A level English Literature. Resources include 5 detailed PowerPoints (context, ‘Ode to a Nightingale’, ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’, ‘Ode on Melancholy’ and ‘Sonnet on the Sea’), copies of the set poems, plus starter tasks, accompanying worksheets and information handouts. Lessons have a wide range of accessible yet suitably challenging tasks which have been honed with Year 13 students.
Resources for 2-3 lessons (plus a homework) exploring key context, interpretations and analysis of methods used by Percy Bysshe Shelley in his 1819 ‘Ode to the West Wind’ for the current Edexcel English Literature A Level (Paper 3 Section B - Romantic Poetry). The content covers all three of the relevant AOs.
Resources include a handout containing key context for this poem, important information on form and structure, and the poem itself.
The 23 slide PowerPoint includes a range of whole class, individual, group and paired tasks enabling students to build up their understanding of the poem (guided by the teacher).
This is the last Shelley poem I taught my Year 13 class, so it builds on their previous knowledge of Shelley and the other three set Shelley poems.
