The unseen poetry question in AQA GCSE English Literature is the one part nobody can revise by learning quotes, and this guide prepares your student for it.

Unseen poetry catches out plenty of able students, because there is nothing to learn beforehand. This guide teaches the skill instead, for the AQA exam at the end of Year 11. Your Year 10 or Year 11 student learns to read an unfamiliar poem and compare it with a second.

Poems come with warm-up questions first, then exam-style comparison questions, so the thinking builds before the writing. One sample page shows how to annotate a poem and plan the essay. Answers are included in this 68-page printed guide, along with sample answers and a mark scheme your student can use on their own work.

There is in-depth advice on analysing and comparing poems, with tips aimed at Grades 8-9. The final section is exam-style practice, so your student finishes working the way they will on the day. The Online Edition lets them practise poetry anywhere.
