1.1 NCEA New English Standard- Language in Context
<p>This is a unit of work for a mixed ability Year 11 class, using poetry written by African Americans and the historical context of their plight for equality. The resource includes:<br />
Power-point 113 slides<br />
Booklet to accompany the power-point<br />
Model exemplars<br />
Group/paired tasks<br />
Scaffold for the assessment (sentence starters)<br />
Suggested poems for assessment<br />
Video links to explore context</p>
<p>This unit was successful. Through the class tasks, students learned how to pull techniques from the poems (I used the same 5-6 techniques for each poem) and link their usage to the context. It took around 6-7 weeks to prepare them for the assessment and the resource should cover this time period.</p>
