Introduction
Starting with the title for the analysis can be something very basic or a clever quote, a statement from the piece. Moving onto the introduction to poetry analysis, this shouldÂ
open with a âhookâ
 to get the reader's attention. Follow up with the Authors name and title for the piece.Â
Add some interesting trivia or background info that is not known to the audience, but try to keep it short
. To finish off the introduction to a poetry analysis state your thesis.
Body
The bulk of ideas and comparisons need to be explored here in a clear, focused way.Â
When writing a poetry analysis, each paragraph should be devoted to one point or feature you are comparing
. You can divide each point by using the corresponding letter from the outline. Try to make it a coherent and specific about what is being compared (example: when stating your ideas about what the poetic devices do to the piece check whether you state each one and do not generalize). Using transition words and phrases will keep the paragraphs flowing .
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. Unseen Poetry
Over the coming lessons we will be learning
how to prepare for the unseen poetry and
prose section of the IB English Literature
Paper 1 exam.
In this part of the examination you will be
asked to write about a poem or prose
passage that you have not studied before.
You will be provided with a poem and a
passage. SL students will be provided with
two guiding questions.
4. LITERARY COMMENTARY
Write a literary commentary on the following poem:
The Song of the Old Mother
I rise in the dawn, and I kneel and blow
Till the seed of the fire flicker and glow;
And then I must scrub and bake and sweep
Till stars are beginning to blink and peep;
And the young lie long and dream in their bed
Of the matching of ribbons for bosom and head,
And their days go over in idleness,
And they sigh if the wind but lift a tress:
While I must work because I am old,
And the seed of the fire gets feeble and cold.
W B YEATS
What do you think the poet is saying about the old woman in the poem?
How does he present his ideas? (20 marks)
5. What should I do?
In the Literature exam, you are advised to
spent at least 30(SL), 40 (HL) minutes reading
and planning a response.
Before you begin, make sure you have read the
title and any background information provided
with the question. You should then read the
poem at least thrice.
As you read through you may underline or
highlight words that seem important. By the
end of your second reading try to get a fixed
idea in your mind of what the piece is about.
7. Using a
mnemonic
Objectives:
⢠To learn a mnemonic
⢠To develop a strategy for approaching
unseen poetry
⢠To write a response to an unseen poem
in exam conditions
8. What is a mnemonic?
A mnemonic is a word or phrase that is used to
help remember something more complex.
We are going to use the phrase A HIT POEM to help us with the
unseen poetry question on the exam.
9. What does it mean?
A HIT POEM is a mnemonic that can be used when writing about the
unseen poetry on the exam. But what do you think it stands for?
10. What does it mean?
About
Historical/Social Context
Imagery
Techniques
Personal response
Organisation
Emotions
Message
11. Making sure
A HIT POEM is only useful if you know what each word refers to.
Below is a quick explanation of each one.
About - what happens in the poem â what is it about?
Historical/Social Context â Any important contextual
information. E.G. it may be a war poem from World War One
Imagery â What images are used & what effect do they have?
Techniques â What poetic techniques are used?
Personal response â what are your personal feelings about it?
Organisation â How has the poet structured the poem?
Emotions â What is the tone or mood?
Message â What is the theme? What is the poetâs message?
13. About
Letâs look at each word in more detail. About requires you to write a paragraph
explaining what the poem is about. To do this you must have read the poem at
least thrice and have gained a good idea of what is happening. Read the title and
any background information provided with the question.
We are going to read WB Yeatsâs poem âThe Song of the Old Motherâ again and see
if we can work out what it is about. Here is the poem:
The Song of the Old Mother
I rise in the dawn, and I kneel and blow
Till the seed of the fire flicker and glow;
And then I must scrub and bake and sweep
Till stars are beginning to blink and peep;
And the young lie long and dream in their bed
Of the matching of ribbons for bosom and head,
And their days go over in idleness,
And they sigh if the wind but lift a tress:
While I must work because I am old,
And the seed of the fire gets feeble and cold.
W B YEATS
14. What is it about?
What happens in the poem? Use the sentence starters to help you write
a paragraph about it.
Song of the Old Mother
âSong of the Old Motherâ by _____ is about âŚ
In the first two lines the old womanâŚ
She does _____ and _____ until _____
The woman thinks that young people areâŚ
In the final two lines the woman says thatâŚ
At the end of the poem the fireâŚ
15. Thatâs what theyâre talking
about!
Below is an example paragraph about the poem.
Song of the Old Mother
âSong of the Old Motherâ by WB Yeats is about an old woman describing
the chores that she does every day. In the first two lines the old
woman gets out of bed then lights the fire. She cooks and cleans until
nightfall. The woman thinks that young people are lazy and have a much
easier and carefree life than she does. In the final two lines the woman
says that she must work because she is old and at the end of the poem
the fire, that took her a lot of effort to light, has gone out again.
This first paragraph is a great example of what you should write in your
response. It simply explains what happens in the poem. This shows the
examiner that you have a good, solid understanding of the text and it also
provides an effective introduction to your essay.
17. Historical and Social Context
You only need to mention the historical and social context of the poem if there
is some background information provided on the exam paper. It may state that
the poem is set in a particular time or place; if this is the case, and it is significant
to the theme or message of the poem, then you may mention it in your answer.
Look at the example below:
This poem was written in 1899 by Irish poet WB Yeats. In it an aged Irish
peasant woman speaks about her life as a woman and mother.
The Song of the Old Mother
I rise in the dawn, and I kneel and blow
Till the seed of the fire flicker and glow;
And then I must scrub and bake and sweep
Till stars are beginning to blink and peep;
And the young lie long and dream in their bed
Of the matching of ribbons for bosom and head,
And their days go over in idleness,
And they sigh if the wind but lift a tress:
While I must work because I am old,
And the seed of the fire gets feeble and cold.
W B YEATS
18. Covering the context
Below is an example paragraph about the historical/social context of the poem
Song of the Old Mother
âSong of the Old Motherâ by WB Yeats was written in 1899 and is set in
rural Ireland. The poem reveals what life was like for peasant women in
those times. As she is a poor and aging woman her life is hard and very
repetitive. WB Yeats uses her to show people what life was like for the
poor and elderly in rural Ireland.
This is a good example of what to write under Historical and Social context.
It simply explains the background of the poem. This tells the examiner that
you have a detailed understanding of the text.
However, if the setting and context of the poem are not mentioned in
the question then just move on to Imagery.
20. Imagery
Look at the imagery used in the poem. What type of images are used? Are any
images repeated or emphasised? Pick out two or three images that you think are
important and write about them. What mood do they create? How do they help
to convey what is happening in the poem? Is contrast used by the poet? Do the
images create an emotional response?
Consider the above questions while studying the imagery used in âThe Song of
the Old Motherâ.
The Song of the Old Mother
I rise in the dawn, and I kneel and blow
Till the seed of the fire flicker and glow;
And then I must scrub and bake and sweep
Till stars are beginning to blink and peep;
And the young lie long and dream in their bed
Of the matching of ribbons for bosom and head,
And their days go over in idleness,
And they sigh if the wind but lift a tress:
While I must work because I am old,
And the seed of the fire gets feeble and cold. W B YEATS
21. Writing about imagery
Use the sentence starters below to write a paragraph about the use of
imagery in the poem.
Song of the Old Mother
âSong of the Old Motherâ uses imagery very effectively.
Words such as _____, _____ and ____ conveyâŚ
The image _____ creates a mood ofâŚ
Contrast is usedâŚ
Some imagery has an emotive effectâŚ
22. Writing about imagery
Use the sentence starters below to write a paragraph about the use of
imagery in the poem.
Song of the Old Mother
âSong of the Old Motherâ uses imagery very effectively. Words such as âkneelâ,
âscrubâ and âsweepâ convey the hard physical work that the old woman does
every day. The image âthe seed of the fire gets feeble and coldâ creates a
mood of sadness as despite all her efforts the fire goes out. This image of
the fire going out could symbolise her life coming to an end as, like the fire,
she too is feeble and dying. Contrast is used to reveal the different lifestyles
of the old woman and the young. Images used to describe the young include
âthe young lie long and dream in their bedâ and âtheir day goes over in idlenessâ
which are very different to the images of drudgery used to describe the old
womanâs life. Such imagery has an emotive effect as it is intended to make us
feel sympathetic for the woman and angry towards the idle young people.
This is a good example of how to write about imagery. It uses quotations and
explores a number of images in detail. The paragraph also discusses mood,
contrast and emotive language.
24. Poetic Techniques
Look for examples of poetic techniques in the poem.
Does it use any of the following? Look for examples in the poem and
highlight or underline them.
Metaphor
Simile
Alliteration
Assonance
Repetition
Enjambment
Hyperbole
Onomatopoeia
Oxymoron
Personification
Symbolism
If you donât know these techniques you must learn and revise them before
the exam.
25. Poetic Techniques
Think about the poetic techniques discussed on the last slide.
Copy down the table below. Find examples in the poem âThe
Song of the Old Motherâ and write down the effect created.

26. Poetic Techniques
How does Yeats use poetic devices to get his message across? Use the
sentence starters below to help you write a paragraph about it.
The Song of the Old Mother
Yeats uses a number of poetic devicesâŚ
The metaphorâŚ
Repetition ofâŚ
Alliteration is used toâŚ
27. Poetic Techniques
It is not enough to just spot techniques. You must name the technique,
provide a quote and then explain the effect that it creates.
Song of the Old Mother
Yeats uses a number of poetic techniques in the poem. The metaphor âthe seed
of the fire flicker and glowâ creates a vivid image of the fire growing from a
tiny spark to a full grown fire whilst the repetition of this image in the final
line, âthe seed of the fire gets feeble and coldâ emphasises how repetitive her
life is. The metaphor of the fire getting weaker and dying also foreshadows
the future for the old woman and creates sympathy for her. Alliteration is
used to contrast the hard work of the old woman with the life of the young
people. In âthe young lie longâ the repeated âlâ sound creates a lazy, languid feel
to emphasise the carefree, idle lifestyle of the younger generation.
This is how you should write about poetic techniques. The
writer identifies the technique, uses quotations and then
explains the effect in detail.
29. Personal Response
Here you need to discuss your personal feelings and attitudes to the poem.
Select two words or phrases that you like. Write about how these words or
phrases make you feel. Maybe they amuse you or make you feel anger or
sympathy or maybe they remind you of something personal to you. Look
at the example below:
I find the final line of the poem very effective.
âAnd the seed of the fire gets feeble and coldâ
makes me feel sad as it suggests that the old
woman, who has had a life of drudgery and poverty,
is nearing the end of her days.
31. Organisation
Organisation refers to the structure of the
poem. In this section you will be looking for
the use of structural devices such as rhyme
scheme, rhythm, layout and stanza structure.
Again it is not enough just to spot that the
poem uses rhyming couplets, for example,
you must also include a quotation and explain
what effect is created.
An example paragraph appears on the next
slide.
32. Organisation
The poem uses rhyming couplets and rhythm
very cleverly. The rhyming couplets such as
âblow/glowâ and âold/coldâ give the poem a
repetitive feel like the womanâs work. The
use of a steady rhythm makes it read like a
song which fits with the title of the poem.
Again you should use a similar style when writing about
organisation and structure. First of all identify the
structural technique (EG rhyme, repetition, layout), provide
a quotation and then explain the effect that the poet is
trying to achieve.
34. Emotion
Emotion refers to the tone or mood of the poem. In this section you will be
looking for the poetâs feelings and the atmosphere of the text. The poem may
have a sad, happy, angry or humorous mood. It may be reflecting on the past,
thinking of the present or dreaming of the future. Poems can also have more than
one mood so look out for changes of tone midway through.
You must quote words or phrases from the poem and explain how they affect the
mood of the poem. An example is done for you below.
The poem has a sorrowful tone. The list of hard and
menial jobs in the third line âscrub and bake and sweepâ
makes the reader feel sorry for the old woman. The
contrast between her day to day struggle and the idle
life of the young adds to this gloomy mood and the line âI
must work because I am oldâ ,which suggests that the
woman has no choice but to work until she dies,
reinforces the melancholy feeling of the poem.
36. Message
The message is the purpose of the poem.
Why has it been written? What is the poet
trying to say? What are the issue and themes
that the poem explores?
It could be about childhood, love, death, old
age, war, racism, relationships, grief, regret,
anything! There are often clues in the title
and background information.
In this final section you will need to identify
the main theme(s) of the poem and say
whether the poet has achieved his/her
purpose.
37. Message
Below is an example of how to write about a poetâs message
and the themes of a poem.
The Song of the Old Mother deals with a number
of themes. Yeats explores old age and the
attitudes of elderly people towards the young.
The poem also covers issues such as poverty and
life in rural Ireland at the turn of the century.
Maybe Yeats was trying to show what life was like
for old people who have to do lots of work and
perhaps he hopes that the poem will change
peopleâs attitudes towards poor elderly people.
39. A HIT POEM model response
Letâs now look at how an answer following A HIT POEM could appear.
Song of the Old Mother
âSong of the Old Motherâ by WB Yeats is about an old woman describing the chores that
she does every day. In the first two lines the old woman gets out of bed then lights the
fire. She cooks and cleans until nightfall. The woman thinks that young people are lazy and
have a much easier and carefree life than she does. In the final two lines the woman says
that she must work because she is old and at the end of the poem the fire, that took her a
lot of effort to light, has gone out again.
Written in 1899 and set in rural Ireland the poem reveals what life was like for peasant
women in those times. As she is a poor and aging woman, her life is hard and very
repetitive. WB Yeats uses this old woman to show what life was like for the poor and
elderly in rural Ireland.
âSong of the Old Motherâ uses imagery very effectively. Words such as âkneelâ, âscrubâ and
âsweepâ convey the hard physical work that the old woman does every day while âthe seed of
the fire gets feeble and coldâ creates a mood of sadness as, despite all her efforts, the
fire goes out. The image of the fire going out could symbolise her life coming to an end as,
like the fire, she too is feeble and dying. Contrast is used to reveal the different
lifestyles of the old woman and the young people. Images used to describe the young
include âthe young lie long and dream in their bedâ and âtheir day goes over in idlenessâ which
are very different to the images of drudgery used to describe the old womanâs life. Such
imagery has an emotive effect as it is intended to make us feel sympathetic for the woman
and angry towards the idle young people.
40. Yeats uses a number of poetic techniques in the poem. The metaphor âthe seed of the fire
flicker and glowâ creates a vivid image of the fire growing from a tiny spark to a full grown
fire whilst the repetition of this image in the final line, âthe seed of the fire gets feeble
and coldâ emphasises how repetitive her life is. The metaphor of the fire getting weaker
and dying also foreshadows the future for the old woman and creates sympathy for her.
Alliteration is used to contrast the hard work of the old woman with life of the young
people. In âthe young lie longâ the repeated âlâ sound creates a lazy, languid feel to
emphasise the carefree, idle lifestyle of the younger generation. I find the final line of
the poem very effective. âAnd the seed of the fire gets feeble and coldâ makes me feel sad
as it suggests that the old woman, who has had a life of drudgery and poverty, is nearing
the end of her days.
The poem uses rhyming couplets and rhythm very cleverly. The rhyming couplets such as

âThe Song of the Old Motherâ deals with a number of themes. Yeats explores old age and
the attitudes of elderly people towards the young. The poem also covers issues such as
poverty and life in rural Ireland at the turn of the century. Maybe Yeats was trying to
show what life was like for old people who have to do lots of work and perhaps he hopes
that the poem will change peopleâs attitudes towards poor elderly people.
