The Poetry Record Label
Launch a label for six real poems from different centuries and voices — then release one of your own.
What you'll make
A curated anthology of six published poems with visual identities, annotations, a developed comparison and one original poem with commentary.
What you'll learn
- Imagery and voice
- Rhythm, form and structure — in context
- Comparing how two poems treat a theme
- World literature in translation
You'll need
An anthology or library poetry collection · Paper, colours
Only published poems count — AI-written imitation poems are not a substitute. Recording a performance is optional; private spoken practice and a written planning route are both fine.
Curriculum links
- Read a wide range of poetry, including representative Romantic poetry, to develop the habit of reading widely and often
- Recognise a range of poetic conventions and understand how these have been used
- Compare and contrast the treatment of themes and viewpoints across two or more texts
- Read and appreciate the depth and power of the English literary heritage through the study of Shakespeare, seminal world literature and poetry since 1789
- Write accurately, fluently, effectively and at length for pleasure and information, including well-structured formal expository and narrative essays
