How to Compare 2 Poems in an Exam

This video looks at linking two poems in an exam response, and includes model paragraphs, a break down of what the examiner wants from you, plus the usual quota of shoddy cartoons that explain why my specialism is English Literature and not Art!

The poems come from the EDEXCEL Relationships cluster. However, the skills covered in this vid apply to ANYONE expected to compare 2 poems in an exam.

Mr Taylor, you are a legend! Taught me for GCSEs and now fast forward to A-levels I've found myself watching your videos to refresh my memory.
