Hello Y10

Today we reflected on our skills as members of the class team. You've set yourself targets and you need to consider these next week; we need to work together more cohesively. We'll do a bit of team building next week, but, basically, we're going to work together for about another 19 months so we need to make it work.

We've been studying poetry this week. Today we looked at Isaland man. It's essential that you know and can use the devices confidently as you'll have an unseen piece of poetry in the exam. Poems are easier to discuss when we know the techniques poets use. If you would like to look at the poetic devices sheet it is here.

If you would like to look at the analysis of Island Man that we looked at in lesson click here.

If you missed a lesson, it is essential that you study independently in order to ensure you are at the same point as the rest of the class. This is your responsibility and this resource is availiable to you. Use this blog. You've already started your GCSEs in English.

I'm looking forward to next week and a whole new team ethos!

Ms
