Additional Info
One person from the class must go to the staff rom and ask for the A3 copies of the poem 'Jamaican British' - these are on my desk. Use the PPT on Class Notebook and the resources to help you, and follow the instructions below on lined paper:
1) Write the title 'Jamaican British'
2) Write down the connotations of the title of the poem
3) Read the first line of the poem and write down: what atmosphere / tone is established? What ideas does the isolated line generate? Are there any techniques?
4) Read the notes on the PPT slide about structure and respond to the question.
5) Write down your response to the question: What is the significance of place in this poem?
6) Annotate the poem
7) Read the details about the poet on the following slides and then write one paragraph in response to the question: How does Raymond Antrobus explore conflict in 'Jamaican British'? You must use at least two snazzy sentences to help you.
8) Peer-assess the paragraph writing down WWW and EBI (what went well and even better if). You might wish to consider whether your partner has used the snazzy sentences, used a clear topic sentence, carefully embedded evidence, analysed language / structure in detail, commented on the poet's intentions etc.
If finished, complete the first worksheet on Class Notebook (this is an extension task).
