This activity has selected some key pointers from Week 2 of Taking your first steps in higher education for you to focus on. However, you may notice that question 5 is asking you to look ahead by reflecting on the effect the week’s work might have had on you.
If you are able to recall some of the key points about poetry, this suggests that you have begun to understand them. If you have gone a step further to apply your ideas to other poems that really indicates that you have, very quickly, got a good grasp of them.
