Dear Year 11 students:
I'll just list some resources to help you revise:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/english/
The BBC is good for online activities, and gently guided explanations of various tips. Note: because the BBC has to cater for all the examination baords, not all of the resources are directly applicable to AQA (the examination you're taking!).
http://www.englishbiz.co.uk/
An excellent, comprehensive site-- look for its 'links' page for even more resources.
http://www.universalteacher.org.uk/
A wordy site, but full of excellent tips for all aspects of GCSE English and Literature (and A-Level!). Navigate to the appropriate section via the menu.
http://www.ashcombe.surrey.sch.uk/curriculum/english/revisionY11.htm
Lots'n'lots of resources-- lots for poetry (Language Paper 2 and Literature). Some of the advice is a) a little simple, and b) geared specifically for the school, but still useful.
http://www.simonarmitage.com/
Does what it says on the tin. Simon's home page.
http://www.eriding.net/amoore/anthology/simonarmitage.htm
http://www.eriding.net/amoore/anthology/carolannduffy.htm
Two pages, done by the 'Universal teacher' guy, related to your lit poets. A bit wordy, but useful!
Hope this gets you started! Good luck!
