Genres of Literature (Poetry)

This topic introduces Poetry, covering its types, basic elements (stanza, verse), and devices like imagery and metaphor. Learners will practice analysing poems for sound, meaning, and structure, recite poetry, and compose their own verses. The unit aligns with the CBC's focus on creativity, appreciation of aesthetic language, and critical analysis. Proficiency in poetry is crucial for the ECZ O' Level exam, where students must interpret unseen poems and analyse prescribed poetic texts, making this revision key to scoring well in the literature paper.
