GCSE English Language: Making Inferences - (Testing/Revision) Essential Skills

(0)
This beautifully illustrated powerpoint is extremely engaging for the students. This presentation establishes what 'inference' is and how we apply it in our lives. The lesson focuses firstly on the 'inferences' we can make from media images, this works as a gateway to the second part of the lesson where we transfer those skills to explore written texts. I have used this lesson successfully a number of times and it really helps the students to detail their responses more dynamically. Enjoy!

GCSE English Language: Hyperbole and Understatement - Essential Skills (Testing/Revision)

(0)
This colourful and engaging powerpoint presentation asks through a series of structured tasks - What is ‘hyperbole’ and what is ‘understatement’? What is the purpose of these two terms? What potential effects can these writing techniques have upon the audience? I have found this lesson particulary helpful in my own class, for identifying language techniques in texts and to support student's writing to persuade/describe skills.
