This PowerPoint grew organically as the text was taught for the first time. The lessons are quite structured and routine as this was taught to a mixed ability class of varying abilities and also a number of behaviour issues. The lessons focus on literary techniques such as symbolism, tone, metaphor, etc. and quotes for essay writing. There are plenty of quotes from the novel and also page numbers for students to find quotes themselves for that specific technique. Practice essay paragraph writing is also included with modelled answers. Essay structure is also explained. Quick lesson starters are also included in 'Grammar Police', an activity using poorly spelt celebrity tweets for students to correct as a settling activity.

Questions based on literary techniques with quotes from the novel ‘Divergent’. One slide shows a question with potential answers and the next shows the highlighted correct answer. Font originally used for headings is called ‘Sign Painter’. Easily to edit and adapt to another text. Used with a mixed ability year ten class - very successful!

Used with a Preliminary Standard English class for the concept study of 'Consumerism' together with other selected poems by Dawe. These are quite simple annotations as some of the students in my class struggle considerably with poetic techniques as well as with general literary analysis. Set up with animations, highlighted parts of text and arrows to accompanying notes, 33 slides in total but many are because of animations and line by line highlighting.

Line by line annotation with dot point summary at the end. Includes an image that could be used as a discussion point or possible related text for the topic of 'Consumerism'. This lesson was designed for and used with a Preliminary English Standard class - concept study 'Consumerism'.

This took an entire one hour lesson with a very good year twelve class. I gave each student an A3 copy of the poem and they copied the annotations from this PowerPoint. The PowerPoint is complete with animations and highlighted text. All annotations highlight techniques and have brief explanations. There are many annotations and students will not be able to fit them handwritten on a regular A4 page. It is highly recommended that if you are going to have students copy these that an A3 page is much more practical. I hope this saves you the three (possibly four - I'd rather not know!) hours that it took for me to make it :)
