Term 1: Week 2
Welcome!
Hello and welcome back 9W2! I hope you all had a fantastic holiday and I can't wait to hear all about it.
I look forward to getting to know you all this year as we move towards an enriching and rewarding 2022. This year, English classes will involve building on what you have learnt last year as well as an exploration of new and exciting topics.
Our context for this term is "Connecting with Nature" . This concept is great because it is open to interpretation in that we are able to use many avenues to explore the topic. To me, it is a look into initiatives and the culture of nature, and our place in it.
The overall working plan for English this term will look something like this using the term context as a slight guide: *
- Revisiting formal essay writing: How much do we remember? (2 WEEKS)
- Film study (2 WEEKS)
- Response to text (2 WEEKS)
- Assessment ONE* (3 WEEKS) - Verbal presentations: Speeches, Podcasts, short films etc.
- Procedural writing (1 WEEK)
* Something about me: I’m a HUGE advocate of choice. Therefore, I take into account your opinions and interests when I design a plan for the term so if most of you would rather not do a verbal presentation, there will be other options we can discuss and explore.
Success Criteria for Term 1: We are learning to...
1) Recognize areas of personal development with formal writing and answer the question: "What do I need to do/change to improve my writing?"
-
Revisiting PEEL paragraphs and how to write them
-

2) Analysing film study techniques
3) Understand the meaning of the director's purpose
4) Create our own pieces of written responses using the knowledge we have gained through film analysis
