In 'AQA World and Lives Poetry continued', pupils used a range of reading skills to aid the supported decoding of challenging poems. In Unseen Poetry, pupils use these reading skills to decode texts with independence.

In 'AQA World and Lives Poetry', pupils compared the language, form and structure of a variety of poems connected by the themes of culture and identity. In 'AQA World and Lives Poetry continued', pupils work on making more nuanced comparisons, focusing on the final three poems: *With Birds You're Never Lonely*, *The Jewellery Maker* and *A Wider View*

In this unit, pupis read and analyse three poems from the 'World and Lives' anthology. Pupils complete two lessons about each poem: one on understanding and one on analysis. At the end of the unit, pupils analyse themes from the anthology, compare specific poems and craft a full analytical response.
