What exam board do you do?

Here are the ones for Edexcel (the one I do); I don't know if it helps, but if it does then great!

Power and Conflict Anthology:

No Problem
Half-Caste
Cousin Kate
Belfast Confetti
The Destruction of Sennacharib
Exposure
A Poison Tree
Poppies
War Photographer
Charge of the Light Brigade
Catrin
The Man He Killed
Extract from The Prelude
The Class Game
What Were They Like?

Hope I helped!

OMG I just realised that you said English Language XD

For English Language, the texts are always unseen, so you won't know what they are.

However, for English Literature (paper 2), there will be an unseen poetry section at the end of the paper where you will have to do a comparison between two poems of a similar theme.

Again, hope I helped!

the unseen text was hard, the question they asked for the anthology was harder, and lets not even talk about the creative writing part!
