Why a poetry-first resource
Most study guides treat a poem like a novel with the chapters removed.
A poem isn't prose broken into lines. The form is the argument — the rhyme, the meter, the line breaks carry the meaning — so we built the page around the poem itself, line by line, instead of flattening it into a plot summary.
It shows up in the scores: Q1, the poetry essay, was the lowest-scoring section of the AP Lit exam nationally again last year. Our pages are built around the rubric — line-level scoring callouts, model paragraphs, and the mistakes the Chief Reader Report keeps flagging — so you can set an unseen practice without spending Sunday writing it.
What your class sees
A page built for the poem on the board.
Line numbers, the rhyme scheme down the margin, a meter overlay you can toggle, and analysis beside the line it belongs to — not a wall of plot summary.
Ozymandias
Percy Bysshe Shelley, 1818
- 1I met a traveller from an antique land,A
- 2Who said—Two vast and trunkless legs of stoneB
- 3Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,A
- 4Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,B
- 5And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,A
Meter · line 1
Five iambic feet — the steady beat a candidate is asked to hear.
Synecdoche
Power survives only as broken parts — “legs”, a “visage” — never a whole figure.
Sound / AO2
The hard c in “cold command” lands like the contempt it describes.
What you get
Built for poetry, not bolted on top of a novel template.
Line-by-line, every poem
Close reading on every poem in the AQA, Edexcel, Eduqas, OCR, Leaving Cert and AP Lit lists — stanza by stanza, not a summary.
Rhyme and meter overlays
Toggle the rhyme scheme and scansion on any canonical poem, then print the handout for the lesson.
Built around the mark scheme
Scoring callouts mapped to AP Lit Q1 and the AQA, Edexcel and Eduqas AOs, with model paragraphs at the top bands.

Student data never trains models
Inputs to our tools aren't used to train any model — Anthropic's API terms cover it, and so will your contract.
DPA pre-signed
We sign your school's data-processing agreement before any pilot account is created.
30-day renewal warning
We email the billing contact a full month before any annual renewal.
Two-click cancel
Cancel without a phone call, and we pro-rate the refund inside 30 days.
What teachers say
The first quotes land here as the Founding cohort signs up.
We don't write fake reviews. The first ten Founding Teachers get a permanent badge on the founders page if they want it — and renewal at $99/year locked in for life.
What it costs
Three ways in. No seat fees, no surprise renewals.
Founding pricing locks the rate for life on every renewal. Once 100 teachers have signed up at $99/year, the annual price moves to $129. Monthly is always $12.90.

Things teachers ask before paying for this.
How is Storgy different from the other big study-guide site?
The other site treats every poem like a novel with the chapters removed. We didn't. The unit of analysis on Storgy is a poem — line by line, stanza by stanza, with rhyme and meter overlays you can print. Our editorial pipeline runs every AI-drafted block through a humaniser pass and a corpus-deflect check before publishing.
What is your AI policy?
We draft with Claude (Anthropic) and run every block through an editorial humaniser pass before publishing. The provenance trail lives at /about/sources/. Student inputs to our analyser tools are not used to train any model — Anthropic's API terms cover this and our contract with you will too.
Can I cancel?
Two clicks at /billing/cancel/. We send a 30-day warning email before any renewal. If you cancel inside 30 days of a charge, we pro-rate the refund — full policy at /legal/refunds/. No phone calls.
Does this work for my AQA Year 10s?
All three AQA poetry clusters are now scaffolded end-to-end — Power and Conflict, Love and Relationships, and Worlds and Lives, 45 poems total. Each poem has an AO1/AO2/AO3 rubric scaffold with two or three comparison hooks scoped to its own cluster (so a Love and Relationships poem only suggests other L&R poems for the comparison question, never P&C). The public-domain poems in each cluster also have full line-by-line analysis on the page; the in-copyright poems ship the same scaffold and comparison hooks alongside a publisher link-out to your AQA anthology.
What about the Eduqas 2025-2027 anthology?
All 15 poems from the new C720 anthology (first assessment summer 2027) are now scaffolded — seven public-domain poems with full text plus eight in-copyright poems with publisher link-out, all sharing the same AO1/AO2/AO3 rubric and comparison-hook treatment as our AQA clusters. The state of each is tracked in /coverage/?curriculum=eduqas.
When does the founding price end?
After 100 teachers have signed up at $99/year. The counter at the top of this page shows the current number. The founding price is locked for life on renewal — even after the standard price moves to $129/year, your card keeps charging $99.
What about my whole school?
Storgy has a school tier — $3,500-$5,500/year flat, unlimited teachers and students, with a free 12-week pilot for HoDs or department chairs + up to three colleagues. Apply at /schools/.
