Write On scheme of work
We’ve put together 12 lesson plans that you can use to integrate the Write On competition topic and task into your teaching. The scheme of work can be used in full over several weeks, or you could just pull out a few ideas from some of the lessons.
The lesson ideas slot really well into Key Stage 3 English, but some activities could also be used within tutor time, Citizenship and PSHE.
Areas covered:
- Perceptions of young people
- The concept of copyright
- The difference between plagiarism and taking inspiration
- Poetic techniques
- Analysing the reasons why poetry is written and the impact it can have
- The link between poetry and contemporary music
- Identifying and using visual imagery in poetry
- Poetry form and structure
