Poets of World War 1

(0)
These resources are basic handouts that I developed in order to teach a selection of poems by WW1 poets to KS3/KS4 students The poems/poets included are: Siegfried Sassoon - Glory Of Women Wilfred Owen - Dulce Et Decorum Est Lawrence Binyon - For The Fallen There are information sheets on all of the poets and their lives/backgrounds, and one extra on Hedd Wyn, the Welsh Bard who died in WW1. Lawrence Binyon's poem is not included in many anthologies, but it will be familiar to some students as a part of it is read out during memorials at the national and local cenotaphs. "They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn them" There is a comprehension exercise on Wilfred Owen's summary document, which ties into inference and reading between the lines, as well as a copy of Siegfried Sassoon's declaration against the war, which was read out in Parliament and published in many national news papers at the time. There are also some WW1 posters and an information sheet on the poisonous gases used in WW1, to support understanding in the poems by Sassoon and Owen.

PowerPoint game revising Functional Skills English knowledge from Entry Level 1 up to Level 2. Includes sound effects from "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" - best played with speakers for dramatic effect! A question is displayed with four possible answers. The correct answer for each is revealed on the next slide. If you can complete the game, you 'pass' FS Level 2. Play with a group. Draw names at ransom to answer the questions and allow 'contestants' to: "Phone a Friend" - ask on specific person in the group for their answer "Ask the Audience" - take a vote from the group on the correct answer "Go 50/50" - tell them one correct and one incorrect answer. Good icebreaker / training tool for assessors new to Functional Skills Revision tool for L1/L2 learners Fun group activity for start/end of course Chris Tarrant not included :)
