A whole lesson on the poetic form of a sestina.
Students are introduced to the structure before looking at two examples by Elisabeth Bishop and Anthony Hect.
Finally, there is a planning worksheet so that students can write their own sesitna poem with the correct structure.
Students write a response to the question:
‘How does Shakespeare present the theme of guilt in this extract, and elsewhere in the play?’
Using the powerpoint, encourage students to consider key quotations from this scene.
Students then highlight on the worksheet where the model paragraph has met AO1, AO2 and AO3 before continuing the response and writing an additional two paragraphs. Finally, students re-read their work and use the self-assessment checklist.
A powerpoint and worksheets I created for my TEFL students introducing British food.
Outline:
1-7: Discussion questions about food.
E.g ‘What is your favourite snack?’
8-9: Brief overview of British food and pubs.
10-19: Quiz about British foods with ABC multiple choice options.
E.g ‘What do we pour on a Roast?’ A. Gravy B. Groovy C. Greasy
20-24: Guess the foods Game.
Using the worksheet, students tick the foods that they believe are from the UK.
25-27: Bingo Game
Using the Bingo worksheets provided, students choose 9 British foods and write them in the squares (I have also included 18 pre-filled sheets for convenience). On slide 27, ask students to choose a letter and click the letter tab at the side. It will reveal a food and if students wrote it down they cross out the square on their sheet. The first student to complete all their squares wins.
28-33 Crossword and wordsearches (with answers)
Using the worksheet, students look at the example pub menu. The missing words correspond with the crossword answers.
** 34-43** Role play activity and key phrases
Students design their own three course menu (sheet provided) and then take it in turns to practice the role play situations.
