Term 1: Week 1
Welcome!
Hello and welcome back 8W1! 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 this year as we move towards an enriching and rewarding 2021. 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 "Water Wise - Safety in Water". 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 the sustainability and preservation of marine life as well as our oceans whilst utilizing learning how to be safe in water
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)
- Poetry creation and analysis: A broad look at the types of poetry, an exploration of the language features and techniques used to create meaningful poetry and then a few exercises in creating poetry of our own using our new skills. (2 WEEKS)
- Creative writing and reading creative pieces: A more advanced study on the formulation of creative writing building from last year. I will explain this in more detail in person. (4-5 WEEKS)
- Potential Assessment for this term: A 800 (MAX) word short story on an issue relating to sustainability and water safety with a conflict resolution. I will likely be assessing how well you can use the conventions of story writing (what we will learn) to convey (express) an important message or moral.*
* 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 creative short story, 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
Introduction Triangles and using it to start an essay
Utilizing Essay Checklist formats
PEDAL paragraphs
2) Analysing at least 6 different poems and to determine what made the poem successful/meaningful
3) Understand the meaning of the author's or poet's purpose
4) Create our own pieces of poetry using the knowledge we have gained through poetry analysis - 5 different styles
5) Name the conventions and recognize the language features and techniques used in creative writing - using these to create our own short stories
6) Draft short story plans and edit our own writing
