Nice set of carefully prepared and designed resources which offer contextual backgrounds to the movement and introduce students to new concepts and some useful quotations (Rousseau, Blake, Wordsworth) There’s a lot of focus on childhood innocence and experience in one slideshow and more on the roots of the movement and how they relate to the poets in the other. Other bundles available…
This is ideal for anyone wanting a better overview of Romanticism before launching into the topic in school. It summarises what the poetic movement was and defines tricky ideas such as the Romantic epiphany, the sublime and redeeming the Fall. Also lots of images and clear bulleted points to break it down better for students. After playing this, you would have no problem launching into Blake's 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' or Wordsworth's Lucy poems. It is ideal contextual background for the Wordsworth Prelude extract and Blake's 'London' poems in the AQA power and conflict anthology.
Varied set of resources including:
1) A guide to what empathetic writing is, with lots of clear slides showing how to plan the task, write convincingly and in the right style.
2) Thorough 'Write a diary for Juliet' worksheet
3) Anonymous marked sample student response to this task to give teachers an idea of what works well in practice
4) 'Write a letter from Romeo to Friar Laurence' worksheet task.
The students like the tasks as once they understand what's needed from the slides, they can get involved in some of the most dramatic scenes in the play. Popular choices for Juliet are just before she takes the potion. Popular Romeo choices are when he is in turmoil during his Mantua exile and writes back to the Friar. There are obviously lots of possibilities, so you could adapt it very well - and the work makes fr great classroom displays.
Ideal for GCSE courses, this 14 slide show gets students to start thinking inventively and originally when it comes to comparisons. Sensible amount of context is offered on each poem, followed by detailed tasks (slides which teachers can print out as work cads) on the Wordsworth poem. Also includes a very detailed annotated poem fr feedback on the Wordsworth poem. Blake is then brought in as the comparison text, followed by plenary. Aimed at all abilities kids - really stretches the top end. See my other Romanticism contextual background resources - lots available. Saves a LOT of time, this bundle!
Two full, detailed slide shows, with tasks,. Resource one introduces the text and offers an overview. Two explores concepts of villainy and stereotyping.
