Of Mice and Men - Candy's Dog dies lesson on Structure and Language

Stuck teaching your class about structure and language for the new spec? Look no further! Here is a fantastic lesson pack that takes the class through how to answer the following question: How successful is Steinbeck at creating tension when Candy’s dog dies? In this pack you will find a power point presentation that is ready to go, as it guides the class through the extract (attached) and how they should annotate it. It then talks them through answering the question using PEE questions and PEE sentence starters. If that doesn't hit the spot, then wait until you see the two page top mark model answer that can be shown to that class to mark and then get them marking their own. This model answer includes, three structure model paragraphs on this question and two language/language device paragraphs. It comes together to create a full fabulous answer. The mark scheme for this is also included. This has helped my class massively, I hope it helps yours too.

How to Give and Analyse a Speech

(0)
In this collection of resources there are two powerpoint presentations that focus on speech writing. There is also a model speech that you can use as an example of good speech writing and structure. When teaching students how to write a speech, I found that it was important that they knew what I wanted, so created this speech on Queen Elizabeth I, as seen attached. This speech goes with Analysing a Speech as it tells students what to look for and then gets them to pick apart their own speeches, identifying what is good in their own. Writing a Speech could be used as a follow up lesson or a preparation lesson before they analyse, as it helps students build a speech. Extra details below: Writing a Speech About Your Contributions to the World is a lesson that helps students prepare a speech in which they take on the role of a famous person from history, and then defend their position in an overburdened hot air balloon. A speech, 'written by Queen Elisabeth I' is attached, that the teacher can use as an example of one of these speeches. Analysing A Speech is a lesson that helps the student first analyse Queen Elisabeth's speech, and then each other's speeches.

In addition, there are some great music links (internet access needed) that will get your students excited and engaged in analysing Romeo and Juliet. I had students from other classes trying to come into my lesson when I played these music gems.

Sentence Structure Lesson - Gothic Creative Writing

(0)
This sentence structure lesson is designed to show students how using a variety of sentences can create a certain effect on the reader. Here I have used 'The Boy' horror movie trailer to create my own descriptive piece of writing which focuses on building an image using descriptive language and a variation of sentences. Once students have read the description and discussed why this description is effective you move on to watching the trailer (access to the internet needed), and then get the students to continue the original description using the success criteria, trailer, their imagination, and the original descriptive piece of writing for aid.

This power point is great for preparing your class to write an essay on The Tempest.

There are about three lessons in this one power point in order to prepare your students.
