Take your students on a journey of discovery that is both fun and thought-provoking. With tasks that include drawing a quick picture of what an angel looks like, making bullet point notes about what an angel does, and re-reading the poem to note down words that describe angels, religion, and character appearance, your students will be fully immersed in the text. They will also learn to analyse language choices and techniques, identify and explain the meaning of keywords and phrases, and share their thoughts and feelings about them. The final review task will allow students to collaborate and build on each other’s ideas, promoting critical thinking and creative expression. This lesson is a must-try for any teacher looking to inspire a love of poetry in their students.

The Identity Project is an ideal way to start the school year and get to know your students. It fosters self-expression, improves writing, promotes critical thinking, and encourages inclusivity. By using WAGOLLs and WABOLLs, students learn from both good and not-so-good examples, enhancing their understanding and confidence. This project equips students with communication skills and self-awareness for diverse situations.
