Key Stage 4

The documents below provide detailed readings of the poems selected by the WJEC for the GCSE in English Literature component on Welsh Writing in English. You will find detailed discussions of each of the set poems, along with some pictures and links.  Each help-sheet can be read online or downloaded by clicking on the poem titles below.

These readings are aimed at teachers doing the background reading in preparation for teaching, but can be viewed and used by anyone.

The resources were created by CREW, Swansea University in partnership with Literature Wales, The Learned Society of Wales, and the Association for Welsh Writing in English.
