24 May - 30 May

Term 2: Week 4

Plan: Formal Writing 2.0 

Our context for this term is "Who Are We?" . This concept is about who we are, where we are going and what influences us as we grow as people. These ideas are going to be explored in the film Love, Simon  as well as through an analysis of the influence of social media and societal issues facing teenagers. These ideas will be looked at in detail across your subject areas including Global Studies and PE. The aim is that by the end of this term, you will be able to use the concepts explored to create your own short film or speech on similar topics.
