In my Year 10 English class, we’ve recently completed a unit of work on the book “A Bridge to Wiseman’s Cove” by James Moloney.
Here’s the resources that I’ve prepared for this book, which you may find useful to use with your classes (click more to view). There are some introductory activites, a major assignment and a book review. The book review task can be modified and adapted to suit any book really. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
Here’s some work that I’ve used with my Year 11 English class as part of a study of the movie “The Truman Show”. There are some short answer questions which you could modify and adapt for younger audiences, or the extended response questions could be used as an oral presentation rather than as a written response. Click ”more” to read the questions, and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
If the students in your class are having difficulty with preparing an essay and adhering to the conventions of essay writing, here’s a template that can help you and them.
It’s something that I’ve prepared which students can use when writing an essay, which reminds them of the importance for each paragraph to link back to the question. It also has a few pointers in there and is a great proforma for students to use when preparing essays.
