Poetry: Power and Conflict

This course will teach you everything you need to know about each poem in your Poetry Anthology. As well as explaining what the poem is about, exploring the poet's themes and purpose, this course will also show you how to analyse the language, structure and form of each poem. As these 15 poems make up the largest proportion of the overall literature GCSE grade, it is essential that students have a deep knowledge and understanding of the meaning of each poem and how it has been crafted. These videos are also wonderful preparation for the Unseen Poetry exam question as they provide an explanation of the fundamental poetry techniques and terminologies. In addition to preparing you for your exams, hopefully they will allow you to glimpse the beauty and art inherent within poetry.
