Lesson Details
Key learning points
- An anthology is a collection of artistic works that have a similar form or subject.
- Each poetry anthology is chosen with overall themes and ‘big ideas’ in mind.
- Exploring titles and quotations from poems can help you see potential connections between them.
- Our personal response to a poem is important.
Common misconception
That our personal response to a poem isn't a valid form of analysis.
Poems are outpourings of emotion and therefore our personal response is incredibly important as it allows us to work towards understanding the emotion behind the poem.
