LKS3 recorded webinars: Heart and Mind, Thought and Emotion

LKS3 recorded webinars: Heart and Mind, Thought and Emotion

A series of ten webinars suitable for students aged around 11-12 years old, although they may suit slightly older or younger students depending on ability.

In this block, we will read and study a variety of texts focusing on the different thoughts and emotions that make us human and can influence or govern our actions and behaviours. We will explore a range of different texts that explore courage, joy and happiness, love, anger, fear, sorrow, compassion and resilience. We will also discuss how writers appeal to reason, logical thought and our emotions in order to communicate ideas and construct arguments. We will focus on understanding how writers express thoughts and feelings through the use of, for example, figurative language, imagery, stylistic and structural devices as well as thinking about how we can use these insights to build awareness of how to write about our own thoughts and emotions effectively.

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.

Recordings are made available via Google Classroom, so students are able to review what is covered in each session at any time. Additionally, an optional written task is provided for students to complete if they wish to.

Once you have completed your booking, please look out for an email with details on how to access Google Classroom and all the recordings and resources.
