Robert Frost's "Out , Out - "

Robert Frost's "Out , Out - "

(0)
The following resource is a video I have made that analyses Robert Frost's 'out, out -' I use it for the CCEA specification: The Study of Poetry 1900-Present and it contains notes on: language and imagery, rhyme, rhythm, structure, tone, speaker, analysis of title, context etc. I have uploaded it in MP4. I generally ask students to analyse the poem using question prompts in class and then send them home to watch the videos to ensure I am expedient with my time management. It also ensures students can discuss the poem to understand it fully during class time and then get the thorough analysis required at home. Hopefully you find this useful. Thanks *NOTE: When I upload more analytical videos I will be compiling them into a Bundle so it is cheaper for you to purchase!

Reading to Access Media Texts - Mark Schemes for sample mocks

(0)
Hi all, Here is a compilation of some mark schemes made for sample Media Text Mocks I also compiled a while back. I’ve included the mocks just in case you can’t locate them on my shop. Hopefully this makes marking easier - it also is a good basis for creating sample PEE chains with the students. I use it with the sample matrix that CCEA provided in the SAM document.

Frost and Heaney 'Self Discovery' Colour Coded Paragraphs

This looks at Heaney's 'Personal Helicon' and Frost's 'Birches' and examines the theme of self discovery. Note: this is NOT a full essay, merely a starting point.
