Using the compelling and gruesome moment that Aron Ralston chose to sever his own arm and free himself from certain death, students are asked to analyse language and structure choices and explore affects on the reader. This complements the AQA GCSE English Paper 2 - Q3 section of the exam, whilst giving opportunity to analyse a truly amazing piece of non-fiction.
This resource includes:
The whole lesson presentation, the extract from ‘127 Hours’ by Aron Ralston and a worksheet to accompany the extract (with extension.)
The clip is available on YouTube but think carefully before you show this to your group; the film is certificated ‘15’ so all must be alder than this but this is a particularly graphic moment!
