Writing a comparative response on the AQA Worlds and Lives anthology

In 'AQA World and Lives Poetry', pupils analyse how themes of identity and belonging are presented over a variety of poetry spanning different eras. In 'AQA World and Lives Poetry continued', pupils critically analyse the the remaining poems in the cluster, exploring these themes in a more nuanced way.

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..

In this unit, pupis explore 12 of the 15 poems from the 'World and Lives' anthology. Pupils complete two lessons about each poem: one on understanding and one on analysis. Pupils study the poems in a thematically linked order so they can complete comparative lessons at key points in the unit.
