I also have lit on Tuesday.

You need to know your novel ("Of Mice and Men") and then either poems by Heaney/Clark or poems by Duffy/Armitage. You wil also need to know some of the pre 1914 poems.

Thats what its like for mine, but there are different specifications for different exam boards and aqa also has two different specifications.

yeah, i've got mine on tuesday.

really your teachers should have gone through the poems with you & made notes? if not, just read the poems and try & notice themes, structure, devices the poet uses for effect etc.

i'm doing the above, except i'm doing to kill a mockingbird & heany/clarke.

Everyone in year 11 has it on Tuesday, and if you don't know Of Mice and Men, + the poems by now, then its kind of really hard to revise it, as in-order to revise it you need to know it, but in this case if you try to learn it, it really is pointless.. Good Luck tho :P
