Below are the resources I use to teach One Art by Elizabeth Bishop, a poem from the first list of set texts from the Cambridge IGCSE Literature syllabus. The PowerPoint includes a warm-up quick write activity, key vocabulary (many of my students are ELL, so pre-teaching vocabulary is a MUST), pre, during, and post reading discussion questions, an explanation of the poetic form, and a writing prompt.
The reading companion goes along with the PowerPoint and can be used as a formative assessment.
I have also included the graphic organizer that I use to teach individual poems (go here for a deeper explanation).
Use the materials as-is, or change them to better fit your students needs or teaching style.
