A study guide to the MEG poetry anthology.
Poetry 2002 is a new resource for teaching poetry for GCSE English. It is linked directly to the MEG Anthology and the resource is designed to service this syllabus as well as supporting the teacher in leading students to a personal response to poems and to a genuine appreciation of poetry.
Examiners are looking for candidates' own thoughts and responses about poems and Poetry 2002 sets out to encourage this. This resource will provoke, stimulate, intrigue, inform and support the students in the development of their own ideas. Its aim is not only to help with GCSE exams but also to encourage students with an interest in poetry beyond purely academic study. Poetry 2002 gives the opportunity to consider a poem both by itself and in relation to other poems.
Poetry 2002 covers 55 different poems, including all those for the MEG syllabi for the years 1998 to 2002. Among the 31 poets discussed are Edwin Muir, Robert Bridges, D H Lawrence, Thomas Hardy, Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, W H Auden, John Betjeman, Philip Larkin, R S Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, Liz Lochhead and Stevie Smith.
Poetry 2002 comes with the full text on a CD-ROM in MS Word, RTF and text formats allowing teachers to make their own selections from the book to suit their current syllabus.

For teachers of 14-16 year olds wrestling with GCSE poetry. The ‘Language’, ‘Genres’ and ‘Mechanics’ of poetry are dealt with in detail. The section ‘Ideas that Work’ is self explanatory. This is an aide memoire for the established teacher and totally reliable source book for the NQT faced with teaching poetry at KS4 and beyond. Since poetry is now such a significant part of the secondary English curriculum there is huge pressure to get this specialist area right. As English teachers we have more and more strange addenda, more boxes to tick, more Schemes of Work to be updated. Our students have so much to absorb in many areas. . I have included the most careful definitions, and the most relevant examples where needed. It is not the function of this resource to be a study guide for all poetry anthologies. However it does relate to the current AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC Poetry Anthologies. It is intended to be as through as possible with the background and the technical details that our students need. Only 15 websites are itemised. They are useful – but only as part of a careful pattern of research. We have to be so particular with the development of proper research by our students. For example – never use Wikipedia since it is not always referenced and is frequently inaccurate. I am sure you will add your own favoured sites. There are several totally prescriptive tried and tested lessons that really do work. There are also exercises that you can slot into your own lesson plans. Again they work!
