KS3 English Year 8: Voices of War: Poetry of Conflict is a step-by-step online learn guide for Key Stage 3 pupils in Years 7 to 9. It covers war and poetry: from the Crimea to the Western Front, the Charge of the Light Brigade: rhythm and heroism, who's for the Game? Recruitment and persuasion, the Soldier: Brooke's patriotic sonnet, dulce et Decorum Est: Owen's protest, anthem for Doomed Youth: subverting the sonnet and writing comparatively: structure and connectives, then brings it all together with mixed retrieval and unit challenge.
There are 23 short steps of about 15 minutes (roughly 6 hours of learning), each made of bite-size explanations with key words, tables and examples, and every bite-size is followed by an activity you check straight away. Key terms include Patriotism, Propaganda, Rhythm, Dactyl, Extended metaphor, Rhetorical question, Sonnet, Octave, Irony, Caesura, Anthem and Elegy.
