    Hard to predict the poetry. If necessary, treat all of it as unseen.

    The modes for Section 2 are Theme, Relationship and Social Setting. 2 of these will come up and no others.

    In Hamlet, you will probably be asked to summarise a scene and describe a character. They always ask an 'intervention' question i.e. pretend you are in the world of the play and write a diary (Gertrude's diary for example), a letter or a newspaper article.

    the hamlet part helped
    but still I'm left with whole book of poems to read :D


    So if anyone can think of any poets that are likely to come up on ordinary level paper .... let us know.

    Is it actualy possible that we will get the same poets as higher level ?
    Worthsworth
    Boland
    Frost
    and Dickinson ??

    Are the poetry questions in Ordinary like the Poem comes with the paper or do they just say the name and you have to try remember it?

    I think at least 1.5 pg for hamlet question a page for each question in section 2 and half of page or each quection on poems. This is only what I think ..... generaly write as much as you can :D
