Below are the resources I use to teach One Art by Elizabeth Bishop, a poem from the first list of set texts from the Cambridge IGCSE Literature syllabus.  The PowerPoint includes a warm-up quick write activity, key vocabulary (many of my students are ELL, so pre-teaching vocabulary is a MUST), pre, during, and post reading discussion questions, an explanation of the poetic form, and a writing prompt.

The reading companion goes along with the PowerPoint and can be used as a formative assessment.

I have also included the graphic organizer that I use to teach individual poems (go here for a deeper explanation).

Use the materials as-is, or change them to better fit your students needs or teaching style.

Below are resources the I’ve put together for the poem, ‘For Heidi With Blue Hair’ by Fleur Adcock. This is one the poems from in the set texts lists from the Cambridge IGCSE syllabus. As an American teacher at a British international school, this my first experience teaching texts that have been mandated, rather than texts I’ve chosen with a particular learning objective in mind.

This is not a lesson plan, but I’ve included my powerpoint with discussion questions (which can also be used as journal prompts) and pre, during, and post reading activities.  I have also included a handout to go along with the poem which includes comprehension questions and a writing task.

When the entire poetry unit is tidied up and fit for posting, it will include essential questions and summative assessment ideas, but for now, feel free to use these or change as you need to fit your students or teaching styles!
