2002 Paper 2 - Section 3

 

Preparation:

You need to choose a number of poems that Michael Longley should read to your class or group. Think about the poems you really liked. Try to analyse why you liked them.

What poems would your class like? What poems do you think they would relate to? Are there any poems you think they should hear to gain new insights on life? Are there any poems that would particularly benefit from a public performance?

There are recordings of Longley reading his poetry — try to get a copy of them.

Use quotation and reference to support your points.

Show personal engagement with the poetry.
