Pupil and parent learning sheet

Week beginning: 4th May 2020This week's work for Year 7 English is poetry.

By the end of topic, you should be able to: • Discuss the importance of discussing current news in poetry.• Identify techniques that Stormzy and Zephaniah use in their own poems.• Include some similarities that both Stormzy and Zephaniah share within their

poetry.

Your work this week will include the following activities: (You do not need to print any resources! You will need your book or lined paper to complete the tasks.)• Playing Pointless• Creating sentences based on what you’ve learnt on Pointless.• Reading and analysing two poems by Benjamin Zephaniah and John Agard.• Answering the question, Why is it powerful to create poetry about current

topics of discussion?• Creating a Venn diagram of Zephaniah and Stormzy’s poetic techniques.

If you complete all your work to a high standard, you may also want to start thinking about looking at other poems that relate to culture by Zephaniah and Agard.

There are two sections to Pointless.

Round 1 is focussing on finding one answer with the lowest score. Pick a question and have a go at answering it in 100 seconds. After 100 seconds, reveal the answers to see how many points you received.
