A lesson which seeks to develop letter writing skills.

Lesson comes from a dystopian scheme of work. Students will be required to analyse the way in which an author of a non-fiction text structured their text. They will also be expected to identify and evaluate the most impactful technique used by the author. This leads to the students writing their own articles, using the techniques analysed, which serves as propaganda for a dystopian government. Connections are made with the real world through the use of an article about Donald Trump.

A lesson which seeks to encourage students to use more ambitious sentence structures in their dystopian writing.

An ideal booklet for a high-ability Year 8 or for Year 9. It seeks to target analytical skills through the study of a variety of extracts from across the Gothic genre. Would be great to challenge and stretch KS3 students.
