Knowledge organisers contain all the information about a text on one piece of paper. You have used them for An Inspector Calls and Macbeth. For poetry they need to contain:

• The poet’s context and why they wrote the poem.

• The main themes

• Key quotes to sum up the poem

• Key quotes to show language techniques

• Key quotes to show structural techniques

• What the rhyme scheme of the poem is

• Create a knowledge organiser for all of the 4 poems listed above.

• Now condense your knowledge organisers on to revision cards so you can learn the key ideas for each of the 4 poems.
