Year 10 - Period 3/4 Thursday 6th Nov

Dear Year 10,

How you ALL conduct yourself in this ICT lesson will determine whether or not you are in an ICT room tomorrow.  Make sure you do as well today as you did the last time we were in ICT and you were independent, focused learners. 

1.  Type up your descriptive essay so far.  You need to follow this format.   If you want to see what it looks like in word (not google docs) then you can see it in Shared/Year 10 English/Miss Ralston.  There you will also get copies of the photographs to paste on the top of your work. 

2.  Email your work to a learning partner.  They must participate in meaningful peer-assessment and email it back to you.  

3. Use this link to write one or two fridge magnet poems:

• The NATURE or LOVE kit is probably best for the monsoon wedding. 
• The ORIGINAL kit is probably best for the war scene.
• The ORIGINAL kit is probably best for the earthquake scene.

Experiment!  The whole point of poetry is you can be precise, focused on the words, not worried about whole sentences.  

4.  Save your work as IGCSE Descriptive Coursework - YOUR NAME.  Email it to me: helen.ralston@oasisshirleypark.org   

Revision 11m3 - Thurs 23.10

1.  Use this model and scaffold to complete a PEA-conn-PEA for the following past paper.

Explore the methods used to present love for your country in Flag and one other poem from the Conflict cluster. 

Model: 

Both Agard and Cummings use alliteration to present the idea of love for your country.  In Flag it says "outlive the blood you bleed." This suggests that a Flag's power is permanent and will survive any sacrifice that you make.  The word "blood" implies that it is worth getting injured or even killed for the honour of country.  Also, alliteration is used in next to course god america i: "heroic happy dead."  This emphasises that men were willing to sacrifice themselves in order to become war heroes.  The word "dead" is very blunt and highlights that Cummings is being sarcastic and he thinks it is ridiculous that love for your country can lead you to an early, and perhaps pointless death.  


Your turn. 

Use these quotes and the sentence starter below to write up a PEA-conn-PEA.  It is exactly the same as all the other PEAs you've done (OMAM, Aunt Pegg, Shakespeare) it's just two smushed together!

Quotes: 
"Then blind your conscience to the end." 
"They did not stop to think, they died instead."

Both Agard and Cummings show a similar message that a love for your country can lead you to being influenced.    At the end of Flag Agard writes: "..............


2.  Turn to your Aunt Pegg and OMAM exam practices.  Look at your EBIs.  They are either numbers (eg 2.1, 2.6 etc) or letters ( [a], [e] etc).  Click here to see what your EBIs stand for and write them out on your exam practices in green pen.  

3. Use the remaining time to actively revise (that means you have to be DOING something, not just reading/watching) any of the work we've done this half term:

• OMAM
• Flag 
• next to course god america i
• IGCSE
