Lesson details
Key learning points
- When comparing poems, you should choose a poem that matches the poem you have been given thematically.
- You can compare any of the poems from the anthology, though the poems should have some similarities for comparison.
- Thesis statements help you to refine your argument and give you a point of reference to return to as you write.
- Evidence should be selected judiciously - it is important to choose the quotation that best supports your argument.
Keywords
