War Poetry In Flanders Fields

(3)
War poetry lesson that supports students to analyse In Flanders Fields by John McCrae. Students develop an understanding of the poppy as a symbol before transferring this to an analysis of the poem. We look at language and structure in detail, including how the poet adapts the form of a rondeau. A very useful lesson for Remembrance Day, as well as for both KS3 and KS4 students preparing for English Literature exams or unseen poetry.

English Christmas Revision

English Literature revision resource - could be used in a lesson, for intervention, at the end of term, as mock exam revision, as homework or for whatever purpose you want! Students design and create Christmas cards as if they are a character from An Inspector Calls, A Christmas Carol, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Blood Brothers or Animal Farm. Different card design templates and activities are included for each text. Students use their cards to revise key quotes, key themes, characters, plot, setting, context and so on. It’s a really simple idea but could be very useful for exam revision before mocks or the real thing.
