Alcatraz (autobiography curriculum + creative writing)

Alcatraz (autobiography curriculum + creative writing)

Here are two lessons I had great fun to teach with my year 7. All the pupils were particularly fascinated and engaged — they kept asking for more lessons. It all started after a conversation we had about our latest travel (before COVID) and I talked about visiting Alcatraz. Because the Y7 were doing autobriography then, I designed lessons that would fit the curriculum. Personal photographs I took are featured on some slides for authenticity purposes (which made the kids more riveted, no doubt)— however, feel free to delete and replace with Google images. The writing task is also differentiated depending on ability group. For those who enjoy full immersion and role playing (beyond visual and sound effects), I pushed the theme further by calling pupils “inmate + first name” when they answered questions (and they took the initiative to call me “Warden” in response). I hope you and your classes will take as much pleasure as we did!

This a holiday lesson I have put together for Y9 and Y10 bu it can be differentiated and tweaked to suit other years. The aim of the lesson is to set up a trial simulation with each member of the team preparing a persuasive speech and argumentation to convince the jury. It’s a good practice for Language Paper 2, Section B skills.

Sharing my first resource ever! This is a lesson I have put together to analyse the language used to describe Dr Lanyon’s physical appearance in Chapter 6. Pupils should work in teams as doctors trying to diagnose Dr Lanyon’s strange condition based on the symptoms. Then they should write a PEE paragraph revamped for the theme of the lesson.

Here is a lesson I have put together for my year 7 (although it can be used for all Key Stage 3) It is about slowly building confidence and skills to write a compelling descriptive piece. Use the spinning wheel to write out a paragraph together as a class, then spin it again for independent writing.
