Last minute speaking slot at #TTRHums today, made me think about the KS4 strategies that have worked for me over the past few years. Absolutely none of this is original. But it’s nice to put things together in one place and share!

Presentation front slide - title ‘ks4 knowledge building and revision’

Here’s a poem called ‘For Your Own Safety and Protection’.

For Your Own Safety and Protection

In response to the recent flooding
of the poetry trade with cheap, inferior verse,
heavy tariffs have been imposed
on this poem.

As a result, it is unlikely
this poem will be read by anyone
outside my domestic market –
or as I like to call her, my cat.

Such news will come as a relief
to the thousands of people
who have already found my poetry
to be taxing enough,

and lends further credence
to those literary critics
who consider my work to be
of little import.

Brian Bilston
