1. Put the names of the poems you have studied on your wall with Blu-tak. Place two together and, with the poems in front of you, come up with as many links as possible.

2. Make a list of themes and feelings explored in the poems, e.g. bitterness, desire, anger, spiritual love.

Put these themes and feelings on your wall and see which poems would fit them the best.

3. Choose a poetic technique, e.g. imagery. Using a coloured highlighter, select examples in all the poems. How have the writers used them to convey a message about the speaker?

4. Choose ‘the best’ three quotations from every poem you have studied. Choose ones which could be used for lots of different purposes.

5. Pick a theme (e.g. anger) and explain to someone else how two poets explore this theme is different/similar ways.
