The book we’re reading
A skills-focused session built around planning and comparison. It opens by introducing poetry comparison — how to read two poems against each other and structure a response that moves between them rather than treating each in isolation. The heart of the class is essay planning: why a few minutes spent planning before writing pays off under exam pressure, and a clear method for building an essay plan (thesis, points, evidence, structure). Students then put it into practice by planning two full essays — one on a Shakespeare text and one on An Inspector Calls — so they leave with a repeatable approach they can apply to any question.
