The £2 Tuition Hub

In the September block we will be looking at:- Worlds and Lives (Part 1). Worlds and Lives is an exciting, modern collection of poems that include some well-known, familiar names such as Shelley and Wordsworth, as well as new, current voices like Liz Berry and Caleb Femi. It has been produced by the AQA exam board but isn’t just for exams, although it is the first time in nine years that AQA has offered new material for study. The collection is both personal and political and explores concerns about the world we live in. It also looks at relatable universal themes, including our relationship with places and ideas about home, heritage, belonging and connection.

There are fifteen poems in the new anthology and we will be studying them over three blocks, five per block and comparing them with each other. There is no need to have completed previous blocks – each block stands alone. NOTE: For students who wish to take AQA GCSE English Literature, the three Worlds and Lives blocks will provide you with all the resources you need for the anthology poetry section of the exam. 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.
