Unseen Poetry

(3)
A fully differentiated and resourced lesson that supports students as they analyse two unseen poems and answer both unseen poetry questions (24 marks and 8 marks) in preparation for AQA English Literature Paper 2. With the exam only a few weeks away it is amazing how many schools focus so much of their energies on the anthology poetry in Power and Conflict and Love and Relationships but seem to sideline Unseen Poetry when it is worth 32 marks in total. This lesson is definitely worth getting if you want to help build students’ independence rather than them relying on you to spoon feed them all the necessary information.

The Rhythm Of The Rain - Unit of English Writing Planning - inspired by Power of Reading

(0)
This is not an exact copy of the planning from The Power of Reading. It is inspired by the planning - taking some lessons and elements and combining it with my school’s approach to writing. Minimum of 14 lessons but another edit and improve session and publishing sessions can be added onto the end making this 16 potential sessions. Aimed at LKS2, Year 3 and year 4. Key skills taught in this unit: Exploration and teaching of rich vocabulary around water portraying a character’s emotion through verbs and adverbs Inference skills Present perfect tense/ past tense Inverted commas for speech This unit of work involves: Short bursts of writing involving of personal experiences around water which could be a diary entry but gives freedom of choice, poetry, asking key questions. It also involves building up skills for children to write about an event that happens in the forest to the main character where he sees something scary in the bushes, runs away and then realises it was only a small animal such as a bunny or an owl. This gives the children opportunity to show, not tell emotions of fear, nervousness and relief. The next part of the unit of work allows the main character to return home where Isac sees his Mum. This involves a conversation, applying their inverted commas skills. Here he can tell his Mum what happened in the forest and why he was so scared but then felt relieved because it was only an animal. Planning documents attached. Key worksheets attached and differentiated activities attached. Each lesson begins with a grammar warm up.
