Thank you so much for these! An excellent and systematic way of teaching pupils how to approach the unseen poetry task in the exams. You have saved me a lot of time and effort yet again!

This is a very carefully structured package and one that provides a systematic approach to poetry, both for GCSE students and for their teachers.
Many thanks for a welcome resource.

You are a life saver!!! My Year 10s are entered for this exam this summer, and I had already spent several hours putting together a few 'mock' papers and some resources, but now I don't have to! These resources are amazing. The range of poems is great, and the accompanying activities are stimulating and highly relevant. Thank you so much! I will be recommending them to everyone!
