Course Overview



Approaching A-Level English literature can be incredibly challenging, especially going into discussions of poetry that are both wide-ranging and in-depth. This course aims to take away all of the difficulties that students regularly have with approaching poetry at advanced levels of study. It breaks down the dreaded unseen poetry question into six, manageable paragraphs that can eventually be structured into an active and effective essay-style response. By the end of this course, students will have developed their essay writing skills, ability to structure arguments and understanding of poetry, valuable skills which can also be transferable to other fields of study.
