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.
