• Description: Love and Loss. We are going to be looking at poems written about love and loss in this poetry block and the block which follows it. There will be a range of heritage and contemporary poems. This theme is going to be spread over two blocks as it is a huge topic and is the focus of some of the GCSE anthologies. You will be presented with ten new poems, five for each of the two blocks and after looking at the new poem, we will return to one studied in previous blocks to show how poetry can be multi-themed. There is no need to have completed previous blocks. You will be given an anthology of the ten poems on your dashboard which you can download as a booklet or week by week. We will be using the SMILE structure to analyse poetic techniques – structure, mood and meaning, imagery, language and effect on the reader. We will also learn about the poet and the context in which they wrote their poetry. Many of the poems feature in current GCSE and IGCSE specifications.
