Powerful photographs (reading, writing and S&L) Fun GCSE English lesson!

(0)
A fun, informative and interactive lesson on analysing photographs. The student at 8-12 influential, historial and powerful photos and answer and /or discuss a number of sessions. Some examples are the following: • What is the subject matter? • What are the colours like? Do any colours dominate? • What is your eye drawn to first? • What were your feelings when you first looked at the photograph? • How did your reaction to the image change after looking at it for a while? • What message was the photographer trying to communicate? • Why did you choose this particular photograph? • What events (social/economic/political/cultural) were occurring at the time the photograph was taken? Was the photograph a reaction to any of these events? • How is the photograph a reflection of the time in which it was taken? I have included a number of video links and a poem related to the 9/11 photograph: ‘The Falling Man’. There is also a group task where the students can recreate the famous photos or make their own powerful photos.

Create your own photo shoot! GCSE English / Media Studies

(0)
A fun activity the student love! Great for analysing texts (could be use for R&W exams). In groups, students take photos of the 6 types of picture given to them e.g. perspective, reflection, jump photo etc. They then have to recreate three famous photographs e.g. Rosa Parks, Afghan Girl etc. The students then need to analyse the famous photos and their own! All resources included. The students are told that a first reaction to looking at any photograph is probably an immediate response, whether you like it, or not. However, photographs can be analysed in more detail. Almost any photograph has a lot to offer if you learn to ‘read’ it.

English Teacher Pet Peeve Quiz

(0)
All our students do the certain common, “unnecessary mistakes” that writers often fall victim to in their writing. This quiz will help you to identify where they tend to make these mistakes, and hopefully, it will help them to avoid them in your future writing. These mistakes are an English teacher’s ultimate pet peeves! Avoid at all costs!
