The authors have brought together a wide-ranging selection of poems which they have found to be stimulating and appealing to 15- and 16-year-olds studying for exams. But this is much more than a well-judged anthology. It is a complete text for teaching poetry for GCSE and Standard Grade, especially where coursework is being undertaken. The poems are presented in carefully structured workshops. There are suggestions for whole-class and small-group discussion, as well as for individual reflection. These are followed by varied assignments in creative and critical writing, with guidance on coursework folders for both English and English Literature. Cambridge Poetry Workshop aims to help pupils engage with the ideas, sensations and experiences at the heart of the poems, and at all times the emphasis is on encouraging a personal response to the poetry they read and study.
