Poetry of Place: Compare the ways poets explore the enduring impact of nature in 'The Prelude' and one other poem from Place.

The student responses below are all very strong and each compares The Prelude with a different poem from the Place section.  They are written by Talia, Orli, Sophie, Eve and Aliyah and cover The Prelude, The Moment, Wild Swans, Below the Green Corrie, Crossing the Loch, Cold Knap Lake and Wind.  My essay is at the end and compares The Prelude with Crossing the Loch.


In general, most of you are not quite shaping the answer so that it fully responds to the question being asked, so these are good to look at for examples of this.  Also, you must remember that the Literature responses, whether they be on The Crucible, Of Mice and Men or the poetry, all require you to evaluate for top band 6.
