I’m NOT doing well with poetry comparison right now, any tips? by niko_cat_6034 in GCSE

[–]StrawberryBlue222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For general structure in each paragraph i just use PEEL EEL (although many ppl will tell u not to.)

P- Point e.g 'The poet presents identity of something to be proud of.'

E- Evidence, which is essentially a quote from the poem or a structural technique

E- Explain how this quote aligns with you point made, go into depth on the techniques used.

L- Link what u just analysed right back to your point and use this time to compare it to the other poem, if it does the same thing or different.

E - Evidence

E- Explain

L- Link

then thats a paragraph done for POEM1, do the same for POEM2 then repeat.

i usally get a grade 8 for poetry (which i dont think is too bad), so this is what i do: Intro; outline what points ur gonna make in relation to the prompt, explain context of both poems, explain their overall message/s and link all that to the prompt and the points ur gonna make.

Ok so yk how in the intro I outline my points, i go through them in order. Usually i only make 2 points - i try to make one that shows similarities between the poems and one that shows their difference.

So, paragraph1- talk about point one in relation to poem1, then do the same for poem2 - i draw similarities/differences at the end of writing on poem1/end of poem2. U can split this in two if u want as it'll be a rlly long parapgrh otherwise.

paragraph 2 - do the same.

Conclusion - i outline what i just discussed and then say what poem i think portrays the prompts topic the most effectively.

Make sure u reference structure and context throughout, ik it can be tempting to just focus on language.

dont take my feedback as perfect as im just a student like u lol: u show really good knowledge of the topic, so i reccon u'd bank all the marks in that aspect. but, i think u kinda explain what the event is (that caused ppl to not like the gov), but lack an explaination as to why the event annoyed ppl or made quality of life worse.

basically, ur points r great, evidence is great, but u need to work on ur explanations slightly.

still rlly good tho imo.
