Avoid band 4 with comparison throughout 1st paragraph – language in the 1st poem. 2nd paragraph – language in the 2nd poem with comparisons to the first throughout 3rd paragraph – structure in both (compare!) 4th paragraph – themes / ideas in both (compare!) Basically, every point you make should be linked to the other poem with at least a comparative phrase.
Comparative phrases Things are similar: Things are different: Whereas Instead of Alternatively However Unlike On the other hand In contrast • Equally • In the same way • Similarly • Likewise • As with • This is also seen in
Band 5 analysis Band 6 evaluation Band 5 Band 6 Add evaluation to your analysis: This technique is effective because… This challenges the reader by… This is interesting because… This word is particularly powerful because… Analyse using phrases like: • This suggests… • This makes the reader think… • The word ______ implies… • The technique _____ has the effect of… • This demonstrates… • This reveals…
PLAN IT! • Read the poems with the question in mind: • Pick 1 excellent quote from each to dissect for language – underline this in each poem and note the techniques (easiest: sibilant or plosive?) • Structure? Consider punctuation in the line you’ve chosen (easiest: end-stopped or enjambment?). Arrangement of stanzas? Rhyme scheme? Link to the question • Themes / ideas – which words/techniques reveal this? Link to the question
Plan these: • Compare how poets present ideas about nature in Hour + one other • Compare how poets present ideas about death in To His Coy Mistress + one other • Compare how poets present ideas about getting older in Nettles + one other

PLAN IT! • Read the poem with the question in mind – you need 3 strong quotes which can be picked apart: start, middle and end • Annotate on the poem – 1. what is the writer’s attitude about the question topic (connotations of words etc) 2. how does the writer reveal this (techniques used + effect) • Annotate all 3 quotes with attitude and techniques, then all you need to do is write it up (remember band 5 analysis, band 6 evaluation)
Plan these: (annotate 3 key quotes) • Read Handbag. What do you think the poet is saying about her mother? How does she present her ideas? • Read Composed upon Westminster Bridge. What are the poet’s feelings about the city? How are these feelings conveyed to the reader? • Read Eating Poetry. What is the poet saying about imagination? How does he present these ideas?
