The Yorkshire English Teacher

Average Rating5.00
(based on 1 reviews)

I believe passionately in (trying) to provide engaging and somewhat unconventional lessons. Too often we may succumb to (due to the constant time pressures of teaching) the trap of overly prescriptive and reductive lessons that don't necessarily reflect our love of English. Hopefully these independently created resources will complement teaching across Ks3-Ks4 and focus on a variety of contemporary themes. There might also be a few 'classics' revamped and spruced up for the 21st century!

Introduction to Contemporary (Instagram) Poetry - Rupi Kaur 'Boat'

(0)
A complete lesson resource that draws upon social media personality ‘Rupi Kaur’ who writes relatively short and accesible poems based on world culture, topical events and issues. This lesson looks to break down the barriers to poetry that some students may have and explore the zeitgeist issue of immigration. Authorial context is explored as well as annotation prompts for the poem. Reflection / plenary considers more of Rupi Kaur’s fantastic poetry to promote cultural capital.
