Thank You M'am CIE Literature in English

A range of Microsoft powerpoints and word documents to stimulate comprehension, analysis, and discussion of the short story ‘Thank You M’am’ by Langston Hughes from the CIE Literature in English (0475/0992) Stories of Ourselves anthology.

Thank You Ma’m First Reading. This powerpoint is designed to go alongside your first reading of the text. There are some pre-reading activities and linguistic prompts for the first annotation. Key themes are also introduced. It ends with a ‘hot seating’ activity which encourages students to empathise with the characters and interrogate their motivations.

Thank You Ma’m Revision and Storyboard. This powerpoint is designed to revise the story, key moments, key quotations and key themes. Students will create a detailed storyboard of the story. There is a peer assessment checklist included.

All of these resources have been used with great success in the classroom.
