Ozymandias by Percy Shelley

A series of lesson created for year ten students studying 'Ozymandias' for AQA GCSE English Literature 9-1 Power and Conflict Cluster.

The 48 slide power point is accompanied by detailed notes from myself explaining the tasks completed and how my class (top set y10) responded in order to inform your own planning/differentiation.
All lesson objectives are taken from AQA's AO's with one lesson explicitly focused on writing comparatively (with model examples) about poet's use of form and structure (style).

Lesson 1/4: Will explore the context surrounding the poem and encourage students to think about how different audiences, from different contexts, would react to reading the sonnet and the message they will consequently take away with them. Model examples to show students this.

Lesson 2/4: students will explore the sonnet's structure. Lots of detailed notes/slides to help understand iambic pentameter and the use of rhyme in the sonnet. Low and high examples of writing about rhyme for students to emulate.

Lesson 3/4: Explore the language of the poem, encourage student independence/approaches to unseen poetry allowing students space to explore the sonnet as a group. These can be tailored depending on your group.

Lesson 4/4: Creative lesson. Students to explore what it means to write a persuasive battle speech. Look at key examples and explain why then, write own. Student examples provided to inform your planning/teaching.
