KS3 English (Beginner):
Bridging the transition between the KS2 & 3 curriculums, these groups are primarily aimed at students who would be in school year 7.
Students receive a small-group live lesson once per week, and an additional pre recorded lesson to be completed flexibly around your schedule. Work can then be submitted for marking and feedback.
The aim of the class is to build confidence, skills and enjoyment in the subject.
We base lessons around a different class text each half term and use this as a stimulus for reading and writing activities. Texts include: Wonder, Skellig, Outlaw, Northern Lights, Private Peaceful and Holes.
KS3 English:
With a strong focus on developing skills, knowledge and understanding of the subject, these classes aim to embed Language and Literature skills through fun and engaging units.
Students receive one small-group live lesson per week, and two additional pre recorded lessons to be completed flexibly around your schedule. Work can then be submitted for marking and feedback.
Each half term we study a different text or theme and use this as a stimulus for reading and writing activities. Units include Sherlock Holmes, Gothic, Theme Parks, Dystopian Fiction and Modern Novels.
Groups are welcoming, friendly and low pressure - cameras and mics are optional, and students can be involved as much or as little as they feel comfortable with.
