English Literature: POETRY EXAM FRIDAY 22ND MAY 2015

how do I structure an essay of comparing two poems

Ok so for Edexcel English Poetry I believe it's a 20 mark and two 15 markers . How many points should I use for each and should
I use a PEE format and/or a conclusion or intro? Keep in mind one of the 15 markers is a comparison. Help pls

You need to split your time. I don't think you should worry about how many points you put down. Just put as many as you can in the time you have. Sooo the whole thing is 1hr 30mins so who have 45m for each essay. I would always leave like 10 mins for the analysis of each poem or texts so I know what I'm writing. But put as many points as possible and your conclusion is the important bit leave say 7mins for that. have fun in the exam!!!

Alright thanks, for a question which may ask me about how something is presented or the significance of a theme or idea in a poem, how should I conclude that. Should I sum up my points and assess the importance of this theme or idea? Thx again

Tyger is hard
ideas that creating tyger was difficult procces
concept of creationism through contrast and language of industry
interrogatives questioning rhythm created
regulat aabb rhym pattern advance his questioning of the concept of creationism

Thank you. do you have any predicitions on what will come up this year?

Well the examiners always love to see your ideas and opinions, so in the conclusion you can go wild if you like and say your opinion! But yeah in the main body of the text thats all the deep analysis and stuff, the conclusion brings everything together into one last summary. so yes sum up the points and answer the question given, the importance and what not

Hello there
I seem to have a problem with my GCSE Literature Exam, I have done my Oman and Inspector Calls exam but now I have my Unseen Poetry and Poetry exam tomorrow. I don't know what type of poem it'll be. We were not told by our teachers or anything which makes me a bit nervous. How come people on here know what type of poem they're doing like Relationships, Place or Conflict.
Can someone please help?

Thank you

Well.... sometimes in the exam it will ask you about a theme say childhood for example. It's not that bad really. You just need to make sure that what you're analyzing refers back to the question in hand. So if its referring to the theme of Childhood, talk about innocence, nostalgia and all that rubbish. Just read the question lots of times. Thats what I do

Thank you. do you have any predicitions on what will come up this year?

Thank you for that, our English teacher only just gave us our anthology 3 days ago but we have had it in school, barely any time to revise
