Complete resource lesson with extract, model answer and links to supporting clip of annotation and answer, to time.

This resource is perfect for interview lessons and uses a poem and poet that is easily linked to IB Learner Profiles. It is a stand alone lesson that could be used for cover work or in preparing for GCSE unseen questions, as well as for MYP Literature and Language. The lesson can be extended and introduces intertextuality that is accessible to students, as it revolves around references to children’s fiction. I completely enjoy teaching this lesson and look forward to it as a ‘treat’!

This set of lessons was wonderful to teach and I have differentiated it for year 6, up to KS4, although this incarnation was for a low ability year 7 class. These lessons act as a great introduction to considering the use of speech, consideration of props and setting but showcases perspective and camera angles very well. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
