Well I can’t believe that we are already half way through this term. I have been meaning to write a little about what we are doing in class but the weeks are just flying in.
So in Year 9 this term we are studying poetry. In class we are looking at a variety of poems and learning how to analyse them. Students have now started researching a given poet and will be presenting their findings to the class in Week 8. This work is being done both in class and at home.
Students are also reading a variety of novels in class and as homework, looking in particular at characterisation. These novels are Lord of the Flies, Tomorrow, when the war began, Z for Zachariah, Destroying Avalon and/or Jellicoe Road.
I am pleased to say the students seem to be enjoying the books!
