Huge value as it contains five resources, including:
Thorough slideshow about the way London is seen by Wordsworth and Blake. Fully differentiated with probing questions based on images Over 14 slides in this pack alone, including focus slides on different aspects of ‘Westminster Bridge’ which teachers can print out as word cards for students. Blake’s London is compare to in the final section, focus is more on Wordsworth. Good context on both poets.
Thorough 12 slide contextual background to Romanticism resource.
12 slide unit on Romanticism and Childhood, introducing more key terms and concepts and applying them to Romantic poems, especially Blake’s. Helps the students understand what the ‘Songs of Innocence and Experience’ are and what ‘the two contrary states of the human soul’ means!
Handy handout of poetic terms with examples and definitions, 3 sides, very varied and well defined, ideal revision resource.
Clean copy of Blake’s poem ‘London’, illustrated by Gustav Dore, ideal lesson starter as the image is rich and links on to other rich resources.
Useful 12 slide presentation which defines what 'empathetic' is, guides students through the best ways to structure and approach the task and shows them some examples of good and bad practice. Goes well with several writing genres, such as letters or diaries. Please see my other worksheets for clear tasks on 'a letter from Romeo to Friar Laurence' and 'Juliet's Diary before taking the potion'. Fun way to introduce KS3 or 4 students to this writing style.
This resource works well and allows students to create an exciting and powerful piece of writing which tests their knowledge of character, plot and language. Other guides and samples available in bundles.
Varied set of resources including:
1) A guide to what empathetic writing is, with lots of clear slides showing how to plan the task, write convincingly and in the right style.
2) Thorough 'Write a diary for Juliet' worksheet
3) Anonymous marked sample student response to this task to give teachers an idea of what works well in practice
4) 'Write a letter from Romeo to Friar Laurence' worksheet task.
The students like the tasks as once they understand what's needed from the slides, they can get involved in some of the most dramatic scenes in the play. Popular choices for Juliet are just before she takes the potion. Popular Romeo choices are when he is in turmoil during his Mantua exile and writes back to the Friar. There are obviously lots of possibilities, so you could adapt it very well - and the work makes fr great classroom displays.
Two full, detailed slide shows, with tasks,. Resource one introduces the text and offers an overview. Two explores concepts of villainy and stereotyping.
