Grade 9 speeches about mobile phones in school
2 grade speeches about mobile phones in school. Both are responses to a Paper 2 Question 5 style question:
‘Mobile ‘phones are a useful learning tool. Students can access the internet to research topics using their mobiles. It makes sense for schools to allow students to use their mobiles in school.’ Write an article for a broadsheet newspaper in which you explain your point of view on this statement.
One response agrees with the statement. One disagrees with the statement.

Power and Conflict Key Quotations in each poem
A revision activity that asks students to consider deeply the impact of the key 1 or 2 quotations in each poem. With so many poems to remember, I look to ensure all students have a high level of confidence with 1 or 2 key quotations from each poem that they can use to both zoom in to authorial methods for A02 then zoom out to explore authorial message for A03.
There are two versions to the activity - a) one quotation per poem or b) two quotations per poem. The version you use will depend on your group and how much they can complete in a typical session.
