    Have you tried studying the poems and reading the notes at the back of your poetry book?

    No that would never work. Studying? Pfft.

    I'm planning on taking Jedward's dad's advice.
    Not study and think about camogie players

    There are about 7 books on the market and you're saying that the notes in the back of all of them are a load of crap? Where do you think many teachers get their notes from:rolleyes:

    The biggest problem that most students have is the length of the notes accompanying the poems in the book. You just have to go through them and make your own notes from them.

    At the end of the day, all you need is a brief introduction and some background about each poem, an outline of what each stanza/section is about (remembering to refer to language and theme and using quotes to back up your points). A personal response is essential and an ability to link to the other poems will get you the marks. When you've done this for each poem, then you can start on your essay.
