Refugee Boy: Context and Culture

This is a great lesson on the contextual and cultural links to the book Refugee Boy. It has a great little booklet that goes with the presentation that the students can work on throughout. It also includes selected pieces of information that can be stuck around the class for the students to pick the contexts that links and put it on the outlined hand. It worked really well with my Y8 class as it got them up and about finding out the relevant information and then moving onto using language techniques from Alem's point of view from the book.

Fab resource to complete the set after the responsibility slides I have available on here. To top it off we must explore THE INSPECTOR!!! Here is a one off lesson to question The Inspector and how he feels about the death of Eva Smith using three of his quotes. There is a quotation breakdown of questions around a quotation with clues to get the students thinking. This also comes with a slide of sentence starters if they are struggling with answering these questions and then of course I have provided the answers. This breakdown is based on the guidance I received from the AQA board when on a course - it really gets the students to think about the quotation and the whole text (LINKING IDEAS). Enjoy! (Please note some questions are based on course ideas given by AQA - answers and scaffolds and sentence starters and overall design is what is being sold in this resource)
