A series of ten webinars suitable for lower KS3 students aged around 11-12 years old, although they may suit slightly older or younger students depending on ability.
The theme for this block is Fun and Games. In this block, we will explore a range of text types and genres themed around fun, entertainment and leisure. Through studying articles, speeches, news reports, journal entries and letters, we will learn about the various conventions of these different text types and the features of style and structure associated with each of them. We will examine the techniques writers employ to create effective pieces and consider a range of topics including the pros and cons of engaging in competitive sport, what draws people to certain hobbies and the appeal of different leisure pursuits.
Throughout the course, we will be building students’ core skills and a solid foundation in English in a fun and engaging way. A wide range of supplementary cross-curricular resources, including links to relevant articles, news reports, websites and documentaries, and optional written tasks will be provided. This will give students the opportunity to broaden their reading and enhance their
knowledge of effective writing as well as extend their vocabulary and their technical skills, understanding of structure and sequence, grammar, spelling and punctuation.
