NATIVE GUARD (Trethewey) for CIAE A LEVEL
NATIVE GUARD - Natasha Trethewey - Teacher Pack
A complete pack of work for study of this compelling but challenging poetry text which appears on the syllabus for paper 4 of the Cambridge International A Level .
There are 12 units in the pack, each with multiple activities. All poems in the collection are covered at some stage; there is a wealth of links to contextual and other materials; and there is a discrete pack of critical resources for use in delivering AO5 ‘other views’.
Each of these 12 units has several elements, clearly divided and delineated. I have not converted the materials into powerpoints but this can be done very straightforwardly as questions and materials are clearly laid out.
The text is in three distinct phases and I have structured the pack in line with this - considering each section holistically before constructing worksheets on individual poems. Contents is as follows:
1 Critical appreciation of Genus Narcissus
2 Considering part 1 as a whole
3 Worksheets on individual poems in part 1
4 Considering part 2 as a whole
5 The context of the part 2 poems - worksheet
6 Worksheets on individual poems in part 2
7 Considering part 3 as a whole
8 Worksheets on individual poems in part 3
9 The whole text: exploration of titles, epigraphs and poem order
10 The whole text: critical extracts for AO5
11 The whole text: end of reading discussion questions
12 Appendix - further interview transcript

BOB DYLAN Blood on the Tracks - a unit for IB
**A complete unit of work on Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks suitable for IB Literature or Language and Literature courses. **
Bob Dylan appears on the most recent Prescribed Authors’ list under ‘poetry’ and the approach to Dylan taken here is to focus on theme, language and form. Consideration of the musical element is constant but incidental.
This course is also distinguished by the fact that I approach a single album as a text rather than taking a playlist/ Greatest Hits approach. This allows for an integrated approach to the ‘work’ and a satisfying experience for students brought up on Spotify.
The contents of the pack features a series of worksheets and resources easily adaptable into your own powerpoints or documents. Tasks are clearly defined and delineated. Documents are as follows:
0 Outline course plan and copy of my article in NATE magazine describing the course
1 Biographical document and exercise
2 Introduction to Bob Dylan and portfolio/ TOK questions
3 Documents - lyrics. cover art, track lists, background
4 Worksheet 1 - Tangled Up in Blue - song as poem
5 Worksheet 2 - shorter songs - focus on stanza shapes plus additional exercise with You’re a Big Girl Now set up as an unseen literary commentary exercise
6 Worksheet 3 Idiot Wind - first listening and draft/ redraft comparison exercise
7 Worksheet 4 Lily Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts - fractured narrative plus interpretations sheet
8 Worksheet 5 Two Love Songs
9 A portfolio of critical resources and extracts including original sleeve notes and a piece about Dylan’s intertextuality
10 An end of unit essay with a scaffolded structure.

Patrick CHAMBOISEAU - The OLD SLAVE and the MASTIFF - workbook for IB
A basic, chapter by chapter workbook for the novel useful for IB Literature study.
Introductory material - suggested questions and activities on each chapter - some critical essays - and a reflection activity suitable for the Learner Portfolio.
This text is a great choice - it’s a short novel, a translated text, the author is on the prescribed authors list, the novel deals with the aftermath of slavery and so offers plenty of insight into global issues.

Manuel RIVAS - THE CARPENTER'S PENCIL - workbook for IB Literature
Manuel Rivas’s The Carpenter’s Pencil is a wonderful novel of the Spanish Civil War, originally written in Galician.
It’s a great novel for IB being translated from an author on the prescribed author list and focusing on an obvious global issue, civil war.
This is a basic workbook featuring an introduction to Rivas and his work, a section by section set of activities, and a series of critical essays which can be used as the stimulus for a LP activity or even (for HL essays) as secondary reading.
Also included are instructions for the old syllabus interactive oral - I have retained this even though it is no longer necessary. It can be a useful cultural understanding exercise.
