Sequence of lessons about Stromae (Belgian singer/songwriter). With my Y13 class I covered both albums (but not all songs) and by the end, students said they felt ready for both the Writing and Speaking components of the exam. (They achieved 100% A*-C with 25% A*-A in August 2015) His biography, his writing style, his approach to media, his use of technology and his potential future in the international music industry are covered. Emphasis is placed on exam requirements, questions found on the AQA website and past papers/oral exams. Many resources were inspired by resources found on the internet however I put a significant amount of time planning full lessons which would enable students to understand/fulfill AQA's expectations while incorporating games and lighter tasks. The last 8 attachments are pictures I took on Y13s last day at school: they created a giant mind map about what they had learnt. I hope you find all these resources helpful. Please don't hesitate to comment/ask.
