Poetry Across Cultures KS3 Scheme of Work

Unique and engaging scheme of work exploring poetry across time and culture, from Homer to Pushkin to Eminem. Includes differentiated worksheets and homework tasks. End of topic assessment features SATS style reading exam with mark scheme to assess pupils' attainment.

My compliments to the author - this is a great resource

N Stirk, Teacher & Peer Reviewer
  • Exciting choice of extracts and activities, including Milton, Schiller, Basho and Grace Nicols.
  • Teacher notes on the more difficult tasks.
  • Cross-referenced to all 7 Assessment Focuses for assessing pupils' work in reading by QCA.

The layout is clear and concise, the content is stimulating and the presentation is brilliant - I would have no hesitation in recommending this resource!

What do teachers say about this resource? (2203)

I am extremely impressed by this resource and believe it is exceptional: the layout is clear and concise, the content is stimulating and the presentation is brilliant - I would have no hesitation in recommending this resource!

M Evans, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

Brilliantly imaginative selection of poems and exciting activities. I love the poems. This is a wonderful and valuable chance for pupils to encounter poetry in translation (and so widen their literary experience) as opportunities for doing so are limited at GCSE.

M Courtney-Holt, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

This pack has lots of excellent ideas and resources and it certainly has been a pleasure to review... Stimulating and often inventive... I admire the breadth as well as the depth of the materials provided here.

M Richardson, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

Very comprehensive with a wide range of poetry and clearly set out. Clearly defined sections with several poems in each. Good clear worksheets with interesting questions. The SATs style paper at the end is also useful. Very good for helping students get into the habit of answering SATs style questions. The introductions to each type of poetry are comprehensive and I think would give students a solid grounding in poetry. Very clear and easy to use. The worksheets are particularly student friendly.

H Nelson-Smith, Customer

My compliments to the author - this is a great resource. It also provides a good background to poetry before beginning the GCSE syllabus.

N Stirk, Teacher & Peer Reviewer

The resource offers excellent cross curricula links with ICT, Citizenship, Geography and History. Beautifully put together for ease of access. Visually it is sound and would be for pupils too.

Would engage pupils through new topics and types of poetry. If shared with pupils in aims and objectives, it is easy for pupils to track their own progress in terms of skills which they are learning.

M Warton-Woods, Teacher and Peer Reviewer

An attractively presented, substantial and adaptable resource.

D Coppard, Teacher & Peer Reviewer
