GCSE Poetry Lesson: ‘Still I Rise’ by Maya Angelou

GCSE Poetry: ‘Still I Rise’ by Maya Angelou

‘Still I Rise’ by Maya Angelou remains an inspirational text that resonates strongly for the adolescent audience. I have used this detailed PowerPoint lesson (27 slides, approximately 2 hours teaching time) to lead my learning in class, as a distance learning material/homework and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students.

This beautifully illustrated lesson contains a brief author biography, a starter activity, content and narrative questions, language device questions, structure questions, an academic writing task, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary. All the time-consuming work has been done for you, this is a complete resource. Enjoy
