S2 classes will be embarking on writing their final newspaper report based upon the events of the poem “The Ballad of Billy Rose” which they studied last term. Students will find a copy of the poem in Files. For the last two weeks students have worked on the skills of newspaper writing this final task will allow them to showcase the skills they have developed. The task should take a some time as students ensure they have all of the information required and their report is written in the style of a broadsheet newspaper.
Mrs Burton’s Higher Class
This is class will start the week with a Live Lesson to read and discuss Chapter 9 of “A Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” This is an important chapter for the overall plot so it is important students have a sound knowledge of these events. For the rest of the week students will build their notes on chapter 9 using the materials provided by Mrs Burton. There are live tutorials when pupils are timetabled to be in class which allow students to ask for help or to discuss ideas.
