GCSE Poetry Lesson: ‘A Complaint’ by William Wordsworth

GCSE Poetry: ‘A Complaint’ by William Wordsworth

‘A Complaint’ by William Wordsworth is a complex poem that explores the emotional aftermath of a failed romantic relationship. I have taught this text a number of times and have used this specific (revised) resource to lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning material (Google Meet lessons), as a homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students.

This beautifully illustrated 19 slide PowerPoint lesson includes a starter activity, a brief author biography, content-language-structure questions, an academic writing task, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary. This is a complete resource with no additional work required from the teacher, enjoy!
