Content

  • Belonging

    Poetry from the Pearson Edexcel GCSE "Belonging" Cluster

    "Belonging" is one of Pearson Edexcel’s poetry anthologies, introduced in 2019 as their fourth collection. We have studied some of these poems in previous sessions but will be looking at some new ones in this block. The theme explores our relationship with places and ideas about home, heritage, belonging and connection. There will be a range of contemporary, romantic and literary heritage poetry.

    There is no need to have completed previous poetry blocks – each block stands alone.

    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.

    NOTE: For students who wish to take Pearson Edexcel GCSE English Literature, the poems in this collection will support your study for the anthology poetry section of the exam (the Belonging cluster).
