In 'Single Poet Study: Maya Angelou', pupils explored how Angelou used language, form and structure to describe strong bonds to people and place. In 'AQA World and Lives Poetry', pupils analyse poems from a range of cultures and traditions, exploring how themes of identity and belonging are presented..
