Here’s a lesson I have put together for Black History Month addressing the lack of diversity in the Oscars.
After discovering some facts/numbers and reflecting on quotations, the pupils have to write out a letter to the Academy to persuade them to be more diverse and inclusive in the next nominations.
#OscarsSoWhite
This is a lesson that was very successful with my KS4 to set expectations for their literature exam answers.
They came out feeling more confident with the task and what to improve in their own writing to achieve a higher level.
This is a lesson that I have used with my Year 7 to practise using the main punctuation marks and including them more systematically in their writing. The lesson includes references and names from Stevenson’s novel Kidnapped.
Feedback is always greatly appreciated.
Simply click on the slideshow then have the pupil press a button. It’s a nice way to encourage engagement or revise topics.
