After our session on 27th November, you will hopefully have an understanding of the ways in which we can deliver prose texts to our students. Here is an overview of the main pedagogical approaches we encountered in the session:
Carousel - set 'stations' up around the room with a varied range of stimuli that link to one, some, or all of the key areas: themes, characters, language/structure analysis, social context and the writer's intentions.
Silent debate - students work in silence to answer questions/respond to stimulus on A3 sheets whilst you tour around to extend through writing questions. When they move to the next station, they need to extend/question each others' comments.
Use music, poetry, images or other pieces of linked literature to give the students an idea of the 'bigger picture' of the text.
Use exemplar writing to show what the skills or assessment objectives look like in reality.
Use A3 grids/graphic organisers to act as an ongoing record of their close analysis of key sections. Create your own version for each chapter/section and use this for the students to reflect upon their own notes at key moments in the scheme of work.
