Leading on from lesson 2, where students explored Old Major and Karl Marx, this lesson begins analysis skills.

Worked very well.

Using Jamie Oliver and social media is a topic, lesson teaching very low ability how to write a letter. There had been prior learning of letter writing techniques.

A lesson analysing aspects of chapter 3, and how foreshadowing is used. Starts of with chapter 3 recall, before looking at model of lang analysis to build as a class. Students then work in pairs, and then individually, to analyse scaffolded quotes. Final part of lesson is looking at a model answer and checklist, before writing their own paragraph using lesson resources and checklist. Potentially need 1 and a half lessons for this.

A task to get students to think about register they would use for different audiences and purposes. In pairs or individually, give each student a card with a technique, picture and scenario, and get them to write an example. Then, get students to mark each other's and give improvement. If time, get students to have another go with other cards and work on their green pen target.
