I didn't use any poems in the exam due to lack of a good question and lack of knowledge of the poems we studied since I hadn't really seriously looked at them for about 3 months

Anyway, the ones I did in class included:

Afternoons by Philip Larkin

At Grass by Philip Larkin (again... his poetry is so depressing -.-)

The TV by Norman McCaig

Autumn by John Keats (i completely blanked out on this one )

My Last Word on Frogs by Norman McCaig

We've only did 2 poems...

[Angel-Light]

My two poems were:

• King Billy by Edwin Morgan
• Glasgow Green by Edwin Morgan

Prose:

• The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark

Drama:

• Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller

So glad I am finished with english, will never forget the day we got introduced to 'Glasgow Green' -shudders-

[Sammie]

WE did:

Drama:
~ The Crucible by Arthur Miller *shudder*

Prose:
~ The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon

Poetry:
~ In Mrs Tilscher's Class by Carol Ann Duffy
~ Stealing by Carol Ann Duffy.

I wrote about the drama and "In Miss...blahblah" so yeah hopefully I've pulled that one off

[Discogirl17]

Can I just say, I once read the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie when researching for my personal study (I ended up doing The Life and Loves of a She-devil by Faye Weldon). Muriel Spark really got it right with that book and anyone who hasn't read it should.

[Xeraii]

We've studied two so far.

• My Last Duchess by Robert Browning
• Visiting Hour by Norman MacCaig

[Nancie]

Box Room
About some women who felt sadish about her boyfriend....Pretty good though!

I've done Sonnet 65, might be doing sonnet 64 as well not sure. Prose is Pornographer Woos, we've started Games at Twilight but not finished, and will be doing another short story. Not sure there will be much time though.
