Planning an extended written response on the Eduqas 2025 poetry anthology

One way to help you organise poems in an anthology is to sort them into ‘mini-clusters’ by theme. When you’re approaching a comparative question, begin by identifying the key theme. Once you’ve established the key theme, consider how the named poem responds to the theme. To choose a comparative poem, ensure you choose one with an overall similarity but nuanced differences. One way to plan your answer is to create a multi-paragraph outline.
