Poets of World War 1

Poets of World War 1

(0)
These resources are basic handouts that I developed in order to teach a selection of poems by WW1 poets to KS3/KS4 students The poems/poets included are: Siegfried Sassoon - Glory Of Women Wilfred Owen - Dulce Et Decorum Est Lawrence Binyon - For The Fallen There are information sheets on all of the poets and their lives/backgrounds, and one extra on Hedd Wyn, the Welsh Bard who died in WW1. Lawrence Binyon's poem is not included in many anthologies, but it will be familiar to some students as a part of it is read out during memorials at the national and local cenotaphs. "They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn them" There is a comprehension exercise on Wilfred Owen's summary document, which ties into inference and reading between the lines, as well as a copy of Siegfried Sassoon's declaration against the war, which was read out in Parliament and published in many national news papers at the time. There are also some WW1 posters and an information sheet on the poisonous gases used in WW1, to support understanding in the poems by Sassoon and Owen.

Bad Teacher Bingo

Bad Teacher Bingo

(0)
Learning Objective: To understand how negative mindsets can be passed from teacher to learner This game is for teacher trainees, or for teachers taking part in CPD. It can also be used for assessors, teaching assistants and classroom volunteers. The aim of the game is to get people to reflect on their own experiences in learning and consider how their attitudes to learning can impact upon their teaching style. Negative 'teacher cliches' are highlighted and the negative impacts of these are discussed in the 'discussion points' handout, alongside suggested alternative phrases which foster a more positive learning environment. The resource was designed specifically to look at negative attitudes towards mathematics, but could be adapted for any subject area if you know any alternative teacher cliches from your own department! Pack includes: PowerPoint Instructions Bingo Cards Discussion Points handout Bingo Caller's Card with all points revealed
