Comparative Response

Hello Y11
The slide show for the lesson after Futility and Poppies will not download...
The lesson was to write a comparative response to the poems:

Learning to…
Explain how conflict is presented
Compare the use of poetic features, language, structure and form

We looked at what is required in the exam and made our own success criteria from this:

AO1
respond to texts critically and imaginatively; select and evaluate relevant textual detail to illustrate and support interpretations
AO2
explain how language, structure and form contribute to writers’ presentation of ideas, themes and settings
AO3
make comparisons and explain links between texts, evaluating writers’ different ways of expressing meaning and achieving effects

AO1 and 2 we have been working on almost entirely through Y11 - it's the making links that's significant. THIS CAN BE SIMILARITIES OR DIFFERENCES!

Let me know how you get on.
