Careers in English lesson: Journalism

(0)
A fun lesson to use during any form of 'careers' week. Looks at celebrities who have a degree in English and potential career paths, before focusing on journalism. There is a little section that teaches the active and passive voice and then there is an opportunity for the students to create their own headlines.

Poetry Scheme of Work: Clarke, Path, Duffy, Armitage, Williams

(0)
A slightly different, more interesting take on poetry! Designed for top-set year 9 - could be used for KS4. Poems: I wanna be yours by John Cooper Clarke/ Daddy by Sylvia Plath/ Education For Leisure by Carol Ann Duffy/ Kid by Simon Armitage/ This is just to say... by William Carlos Williams Per poem, there is: A clip of the poet reading A set 'method' for initial, independent analysis Contextual information - lots of clips here! Questions to guide them in annotating A challenge section dedicated to applying a particular literary theory to the poem An assessment question with a peer/self-assessment table Also, there's a bit of theory at the beginning on poetry in general, a final assessment task, homework ideas dotted throughout, and an end-of-unit student voice/ review task. If you're after a video-clip-heavy lesson or two, the section on Education for Leisure has a small documentary on the Columbine Massacre. It also has a small section on applying theories about Existentialism to the poem which I think has quite a cool clip from Kill Bill to help explain it.

This small unit of work will prepare you for the kind of material we will be working with in the Section B writing section for English Language. It will also help you to observe how pieces of art and culture (music, literature etc.) can depict/ criticise/ mock society. Through this you can see how meaningful links can be made to context.

Place Poetry Scheme of Work

(0)
A highly engaging scheme of work aimed towards year 9. It is largely aimed at middle/high ability but may be tweaked accordingly. There are over 96 slides worth of material including: analysis of song lyrics, poetry analysis, creative writing, flip learning opportunities, linguistic investigations. Lots of material directly related to Manchester for those of you in the area. I hope you have as much fun teaching it as I did making it!
