Could someone mark my response (relationships)? If you can, quote me and I'll PM the essay to you :smile:

Sure!

Does anyone have a mnemonic for comparing the two poems, like how to actually write it? (eg PEAR for the first exam)

Is anyone else here doing the GCSE AQA English Literature Unit 1 (18/05/15) and Unit 2 (22/05/15) exam?

I study An Inspector Calls for Section A and Of Mice and Men for Section B of the Unit 1 Exam. Does anyone have any predictions for both of the sections (like what characters are likely to come up)?

For Potery (Unit 2) I study Relationships Potery. I have feeling that it could be To His Coy Mistress.

Also does anyone know what poems and characters for AIC and OMAM came up for the June 2014 paper? :smile:

my teachers seem to think To His Coy Mistress will come up on AQA paper, so would it be a good idea to focus on that?

Two of these poems will come up in the Conflict Poetry
1. 'Flag' by John Agard
2. 'The Right Word' by Robert Minhinnick
3. 'Belfast Confetti' by Ciaran Carson
4. 'Bayonet Charge' by Ted Hughes
5. 'The Falling Leaves' by Margaret Postgate Cole

Extra Info
I am 85% certain that one of these 5 poems will be in the exam. As AQA have a pattern with their poetry in the english literature- they ask two different conflict poems every year, and the ones above are the 5 poems that AQA have not used
Get revising key themes in each poem
Know your language features and the types of rhyme
I am not responsible if none of these poems show up, hence the '85% certain' although it is very likely.

Good Luck :smile:

Flag is only on foundation and my teacher said that they have used all of the poems so it could literally be any one of the conflict poems

Examinations from 2015 changes:
Section A – ‘Named’ poems There is no change to the content of the fourMoon on the Tides poetry clusters. However, from2015 any of the 15 poems from each cluster couldbe named on either tier of the examination.

Any ideas on how you are supposed to structure your answer to get the best possible grade in the poetry. Also in the aqa AIC and OMAM, if you talk about language, structure and form then what mark/grade are you guaranteed if that is possible. Of course, you would also talk about context in 0MAM.

Anyone doing characters & voices. Brendan Gallacher is the only poem which hasn't come up at all in both foundation and Higher.

Does anyone have any resources to help with structure? My English teacher is a new student one and she is completely useless.

Are you 100% sure? AQA can trick us by re-doing a poem.

Yh i heard about this as well, and i think because of the change, one of the poems will be out of these three.
The other poem i think will be Belfast Confetti or Bayonet Charge as 11Jason11 said above......
