A pack of teaching notes and student worksheets. The 15
poems have been carefully chosen to reflect different
values and attitudes according to their timing in the
war, the poets' experiences of war, and the gender of the
poets. The pack includes investigative worksheets for
students to complete during/after listening to each poem
as well as tasks and activities for extended writing,
research and group work. A set of detailed PowerPoint
presentations are also supplied on CD-ROM.

“I thought this was a very
thorough, detailed resource, and appropriate
for the new specification as it looks at a range
of poems and tackles them in-depth. It provides a
great deal of material for the class and would
certainly save a lot of time for the
teacher. I would definitely purchase this
resource.”
L Wilford, English Teacher and Independent

“Impressively interactive and varied
tasks. The way the worksheets place emphasis on
listening to the poems rather than just reading
them is welcome. The PowerPoints were
superb, especially the questions
surrounding the poems... I'm just sorry that I
won't be teaching this course next year as this
is a really valuable resource!”
