Excellent teaching aid
|
|
I use this as a teaching aid for GCSE and believe it is the best guide ever for this poet cluster. The difficult vocabulary in each poem is explained, while the questions are thought-provoking and are clearly structured and well laid out, with different sections for Meaning, Attitude, Language, Form. A number of poems from pre-1914 are included too, together with ideas on which poems could possibly be compared with grids outlining the common themes of all the poems. I have turned to this guide many times for ideas on teaching the poems and always am inspired with new ideas for dealing with the questions provided. For teachers, this is ideal, for students however, I think it is important to mention that the book does NOT include the answers to the questions nor does it provide example essays which a student might expect in this type of guide.
