Additional Info
Task 1: complete your essay plan (I am happy to glance over this on Monday before you start writing if you're unsure about anything).

Task 2: write a comparative essay in response to the title 'Compare how the writers explore isolation in Hide and Seek and one other poem.' You should consider the writers' use of language, form and structure. Support your answer with examples from BOTH poems.

Your essay should include:
  • introduction
  • three main body paragraphs (one overarching idea with two sub-ideas exemplifying how that is shown in the poem)
  • conclusion (guidance under practice & models)
There are lots of resources on the content library to support you - annotated copies of the poems, model introduction and group paragraph, writing guidance sheets, etc. Use them all!
