A full lesson outlining how to investigate the denotation and connotation of imagery and structure.

The lesson involves a group starter task identifying the connotations of colours. They then complete a series of individual comprehension questions which aim to promote pupils' confidence and ability identifying the connotation or the writer's choice of words, before a peer assessment task. Pupils have GCSE 1-9 criteria to assess their work. There is also a homework task (or extension task) to encourage further development.

A punchy, well paced lesson which gets pupils doing the work not you!
