<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I have updated my scheme of work for AMND this year and thought I would share it again. This update includes new approaches to building analytical responses to reading, peer/self-assessment opportunities, links to poetry and some lessons on creative writing - some of the creative writing lessons have been inspired by the website Pobble 365.</p>
<p>I hope you find it useful!</p>
This is an activity I devised for my year 9 class to help them in their study of character within the short stories we were studying - they really enjoyed it and their group role play really helped them to access the characters we were studying and empathise. We studied 'Your Shoes&' and &';Flight' and I asked them to adopt to work in groups and each group was a family from one of the stories. It was a fab lesson and the pupils in my class really loved it as they could relate to chat shows. We filmed the &'shows&'; and watched them back so we could self/peer-assess.
