This is a quick half lesson worksheet for AQA power and conflict Agard’s poem
The worksheet reminds students to focus on key quotes - refresh analysis and to re-consider context. It is not a first wave introduction to the poem!
The worksheet refers to a short youtube clip about ingrained racism ( Taikai Waititi’s parody 2 minutes long) to help students to connect to higher order ideas about humour being used to deflect serious issues
This is the first lesson in introducing CASABLANCA. The purpose is to introduce the philosophy behind a study of Classical Hollywood, specific to the a Classic film! It avoids getting ‘lost’ in a history lesson, but introduces some key terms, such as The Vichy, and challenges students to see the film in the film’s era and context of the emigree experience, and make links to the current emigree issues.
It introduces some key film language which students will have to use in essay and exam writing - and has the link to the opening titles - which is viewed at the start and end of the lesson
The PPT|S encourage discussion, students led note taking, and summarising.
My expectation is students will have 2 sides A4 of their own notes ,and I would hand out the stills of the globe and maps.
