Stream English is all about pushing your GCSE English Language and Literature skills to a grade 9. One of the best ways to do that is for me to see your work as I use my experience as a teacher and an examiner to give you specific advice. You can submit essay questions you’ve written on the Stream English website; I will then create a video where I mark your work and talk you through how you can improve.

Thank you a lot for this video. My GCSE's are in a month and this has helped me prepare in advance. In the future could you analyse unseen poetry and how to answer the questions under time.
I'm sorry, I don't have an answer to that. I have never taught the Love & Relationship cluster. Based on my knowledge of the poems generally, I know four I would choose: Climbing my Grandfather; Mother Any Distance; Walking Away; Before You Were Mine. The flaw I can spot in that selection so far is they are all familial love, so I would make the other two romantic love/the other common themes that aren't covered by those four.
You need to know all 10 poems. You do not need to memorise all 10. You need to memorise quotes from enough poems that you will be able to use them to compare to whichever poem is in the exam. Let's say, for example, you decided that you hate The Prelude and you will never choose to write about that poem - you'll only write about it if AQA put it in the exam. You can do that if you have memorised quotes from London/My Last Duchess/War Photographer etc because you can compare those poems to the Prelude. So, pick your poems. Know all of them, but only memorise quotes from the ones that you think give you the ability to handle a wide range of potential questions and poems that you could be given in the exam
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond - TH-cam hid the comment as spam and I didn't realise! If you are asking which 6 poems to choose, that can be completely up to you. Choose the 6 you feel you understand the best and have plenty of ways to compare to the other poems.
