This is an engaging introduction lesson to the themes of Boey Kim Cheng’s The Planners. It supports students to understand the ideology behind the decisions made by leaders when creating a city. It is in essence a city builder board game that I have created to teach students about the poem. Slight disclaimer: this is not an all singing all dancing analysis of the poem (that is all available), but rather a very fun way for students to learn the poem; it is well suited to a last day of term or Friday lesson with year 10’s.
I have also now added a series of discussion questions for after, which allow students to compare their ideological positions with the decisions they made.
If you don’t like the resource or think it’s missing something get in touch, and I’ll add even more. This was a lot of fun to make, and even more fun to teach.
Something went wrong, please try again later.
Really engaging way to introduce the themes of the poem and get students thinking about the issues in it. Thank you!
