A cover lesson style worksheet on fronted adverbials.

Simple but effective lesson. Students practise using a combination of simple, compound and complex sentences within descriptive paragraphs using the power and conflict poems as inspiration for their writing. Students then review their paragraph by exploring the impact of each sentence type. To develop their paragraph further, students can add a wider variety of punctuation by responding to the 3 prompts.

Ideal to use at the end of a SOW or to set as a cover lesson.

Just a simple sheet for students to fill in while watching a film version of An Inspector Calls.

A grade 8 model response comparing how conflict with nature is presented in Prelude and Storm on the Island. I’d give it a mark at the top of Band 5 24/30 which I predict is around grade 8. It is well-structured, thoughtful, detailed and developed with apt evidence. To reach Grade 9 it needs to be more critical and exploratory with more convincing exploration of alternative interpretations and contectual factors. I have many other Power and Conflict resources also on my shop such as the following: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/power-and-conflict-poetry-revision-grid-extended-version-11530298 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/power-and-conflict-revision-11626301
