Well i'm not sure whether I should tell you not to do Wordsworth or to do it, cause I haven't done it myself.. For me, I find songs of ourselves a relatively straightforward section in the exam, you just have to memorise some of the poems (our teacher suggests we learn 8 by heart) and i don't think there are a lot of resources on the net.. If you want to ask me questions on any of the poems, or what a sentence suggests or anything, just ask  :) :)

Why learn the poems if you do the passage-based question?

Hopefully that'll help.

And yehh- passage based. Maybe it'll be a lilk bit easier :)
but make sure you annotate the poems before you go for the exams yeh

oh shoot. I'm not sure.


sorry mate- that's the best I got >.<

I did Songs of Ourselves 2 years ago. and have nothing left on me.

You can research a few poems though online- Im sure they've got them up on the internet or summin.

Which poems you doing ?

I liked-

Caged Bird
Carpet-weavers of Morocco
She Dwelt Amongst the Untrodden Ways
Mid-term Break (that was the best!)
and errmm- there were a few more that I've forgotten >.<
