A marvellous resource

“The Complete Poetry Resource is a marvellous resource for students. It provides a very effective platform for the examination and for developing the higher-order thinking skills that help bridge the gap between secondary school and university.”

~ Lisa Hosking, St Andrew’s, Johannesburg

A great foundation

“The English Experience Native Commissioner Resource is a very useful tool that serves as a great foundation for the kids. The plot and sub-plots are all neatly defined. It offers various interpretations of characters, events etc., which students can then either argue against or explore further.”

~ Sandy Woolard, St Mark’s

Putting learners at ease

“Our learners absolutely love the Poetry Resource. It puts them at ease.”

~ Petronella Munian, St Benedict’s, Pinetown

Products

Focused on bringing the text to life, every resource The English Experience publishes incorporates a range of stimulating features — including content, contextual and essay questions, tear-out rubrics and stimulating enrichment materials — designed to encourage a critical appreciation of the text and to inspire the high order thinking that examiners are always looking for.



The Complete Poetry Resource
Poems and Learning Materials for Grades 10 and 11

This in-depth resource is ideal for teaching poetry to learners in Grades 10 and 11. Much more than an anthology, this resource prepares learners for Grade 12 poetry by analysing poems from the last 500 years and presenting each one in the context of its time period, using a combination of perennial favourites from the masters and inspiring, edgy contemporary verse.

Meet the requirements of the curriculum in a completely fresh, contemporary way!
