GCSE Lecture series
GCSE Overview
These lectures address the CCEA specification and focus on Seamus Heaney’s poems which feature in the anthologies ‘Relationships’, ‘Identity’ and ‘Conflict’. A comparative analysis with the work of other poets will draw out key themes and literary devices. Lectures will be delivered by Mrs Shelagh O’Brien. Due to demand, we will be running two dates on the ‘Conflict’ anthology.
| Lecture | Lecture Date |
| Conflict Anthology | Thursday 18th January |
| Tuesday 30th January | |
| Relationships Anthology | Tuesday 23rd January |
| Identity Anthology | Thursday 25th January |
