A checklist for students to help them to construct an in-depth analysis of a quotation. Leading questions and sentence starters are given to encourage students to independently deconstruct a piece of evidence.

A full lesson on Dulce et Decorum est which focuses on the language used to show the horror of war. The lesson begins with students being asked to come up with a question based on an image. They then work through the lesson, following one of three differentiated pathways (this could be individually or in ability groups). This leads to an analytical writing task and an eventual attempt to answer the question that they started the lesson devising. As with all of my lessons, this has been used by me and my department - it was graded as a 1 in my recent PM observation. It has been tweaked following its usage and contains notes on the bottom of the slides to encourage teacher questioning. Included: Full PPT (attractively presented) Three-way differentiated starter Three-way differentiated writing task Three-way differentiated peer-assessment checklists Please leave me a review if you find this lesson as useful as I hope you will (or if you don't!) I always act upon my feedback to make my lessons the very best they can be!
