Focused on modern Black history and black literature John Agard’s Checking Out Me History

I used this for a Year 6 - 7 transition day whilst we were still doing online learning. It can be used as a English/literacy-based lateral thinking exercise and can be done independently or in groups.

This lesson should be completed after reading the book. It will help students to understand the imagery created in key scenes of the novel. They will work in small groups to create freeze frames (and as a challenge, a piece of drama) which focus on 5 key quotations from the scene they are given/choose.

Full lesson with PowerPoint and step-by-step worksheet for students to complete. Created for a set 2 year 8 class but could be adapted for other abilities and years. Extracts can also be changed. Follows an I We You structure for guided analysis and builds students to writing an independent analytical paragraph.

Students will use J K Rowling's techniques to create a character, then a setting and then a story. Three lessons. You will need small bags of 'artifacts' for lesson 2 (I just grabbed a few things from around my house, including a book for each bag and a picture (included)) Suitable for KS2 and year 7 :)
