Conceptualising and exploring the Edexcel Belonging anthology
I can conceptualise and explore the ideas of belonging within the Edexcel Belonging anthology.
Lesson details
Key learning points
- A poetry anthology is chosen with overall themes and ‘big ideas’ in mind.
- We might conceptualise belonging as meaning ideas of family, place, positivity and connection.
- Arguably, the anthology is just as much about not belonging as it is about belonging.
- Exploring ideas of not belonging are just as important as arguably they reflect the realities of society.
Common misconception
That an anthology only explores the title theme.
An anthology could also explore the inverse of the title theme in order to highlight particular ideas or concepts.
