Working in pairs and groups, this KS4 English lesson requires an ability to sequence poetry text, to make and justify proposals and to compare texts in terms of structure and meaning.
Above all, it is a lesson designed to encourage participation. Pupils will be given a poem in the incorrect order and then have to find a more satisfactory sequence and justify their choices (though it doesn’t matter whether the result matches the poet’s final draft).
