Introduction lesson for English Language Paper 2.
Speaking and listening based lesson where students consider the viewpoints of their peers and various audiences. I have used relatable examples for students to discuss, for example social media and the rising tensions in America between particular groups.
To engage students with politics, I have created a lesson exploring capitalism and socialism, using the 2017 General Election as a stimulus. Together, you will:
- explore ideas of capitalism and socialism
-break down the key pledges of the two main political parties (Conservative and Labour)
-host your own ‘Question Time’ where students discuss/debate their different views
-Vote!
This FREE lesson leads on to a series of lessons breaking down the context of ‘An Inspector Calls’, ideas of social class and the political systems of Edwardian Britain.
