This term in English, Year 10 has been studying Power and Conflict poetry for our GCSE English Literature Paper 2. We’ve been learning the context of the poet and the poem, the structure and the themes. We’ve been annotating key aspects of each stanza, focusing on poetic devices and language techniques such as enjambment and oxymorons. 

So far we have studied: Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley, London by William Blake, Extract from: The Prelude by William Wordsworth and My Last Duchess by Robert Browning.

I’ve loved all of the poems we’ve studied so far because the context behind them is interesting; analysing the meanings within each one gives me a better understanding of the message the poet is trying to communicate with the audience.

I’m looking forward to studying the rest of the poems in the anthology.
