Poppies by Jane Weir
This resource supports a poem often set by exam boards for English Literature, Poppies by Jane Weir.
It contains a set of flashcards with images to support understanding of the poem, and a stanza by stanza breakdown of key vocabulary.
Key vocabulary that is more abstract is listed for each stanza to be looked up in a bilingual dictionary or using translation software.
The materials can be used by individual students largely independently but the accompanying teacher notes also have suggestions for using the resources creatively in groups to stimulate discussion about the vocabulary and content of the poems.
