Journey's End - Introduction Work

(0)
This Journey’s End introductory work uses the well known accusation that soliders in WWI were ‘Lions led by donkeys’; using some images and a clip from Blackadder and verious discussion points, pupils are asked to reflect on the nature of the military leaders at the time. This resource can be used at the very start of the play for pp. 2-8 too (alongside the other resource in my shop if that is helpful).

Journey's End - Context and Pre-Reading

Journey's End - Context and Pre-Reading

(1)
These resources are excellent for pupils to use prior to starting the text - the book covers resource is a particular favourite (where it gives pupils the opportunity to discuss the function of books covers, explaining what themes and issues they anticipate in the text and explain their inference).
Journey's End - Coping Mechanisms
mikib0202mikib0202

Journey's End - Coping Mechanisms

(0)
This is a simple, but effective, resource in getting the students to reflect on the various coping mechanisms employed by the characters in the play to deal with the trauma of the war and the horror of their experiences. This resource can be used when half way through the text or perhaps as a reflective task having completed the play as a whole. It could also form the foundation for an analytical essay and gives the students an opportunity to work on their ability to work through a text to find supporting ideas and evidence. I include a screen shot of the first slide / page as PDFs and ActivInspire Flipcharts do not always show up on pre-views.

(0)
This resource draws upon pp. 42-46 of Journey’s End to get pupils to develop their understanding of the day-to-day life of a soldier in the trenches. It also leads on to a descriptive task and encourages students to reflect on how to create an effective descriptive response. I include a screen shot of the first slide / page as PDFs and ActivInspire Flipcharts do not always show up on pre-views.

CIE Poetry Anthology - Songs of Ourselves, Podcasts for Annotations

9 Resources
This bundle contains vastly detailed podcasts that help both students and / or teachers to create detailed annotations for a wide range of the poems contained within one of the key CIE poetry anthologies; this includes suggested observations about structure and how one might sub-divide the poems into different topics. These are certainly best used as pupil resources to guide understanding of the poems and to give inspiration for different interpretations - as well as detailed analysis of key language and imagery - but it can also serve as a useful revision resource given directly to students at the end of the course. Note that these are best used alongside the annotated anthology which is also found in the same resource shop. The bundle includes podcasts for all of the following poems: Afternoon With Irish Cows Cetacean Coming In Praise of Creation London Snow Ode on Melancholy Stormcock in Elder The Buck in the Snow The Caged Skylark You Will Know When You Get There
