The English department is excited to introduce a new website feature: 'A look inside' where you can find out what our students have been up to in different departments across the school. Check out the information below to see what has been going on in English...
Year 8
Jumana and Nieve in Year 8 created truly amazing pieces for their homework. Jumana researched and produced a fact-file on the famous gothic writer, Bram Stoker, and Nieve created a fact-file on Marilyn Monroe, to tie in with their classwork on 'Blood Brothers' - complete with a pop-up version of 'that dress'!
We always encourage creativity and we love to see when students have gone above and beyond with their efforts. Well done!
Year 11
In preparation for her mock exams, Grace in Year 11 analysed a particularly challenging piece of text in great detail and created a fantastic piece of work. Well done Grace!
Year 13
Our Year 13 English Language students delved into the fantastic world of English language change. From the first published dictionary, the rules of grammar and the advent of mass education, the history of the English Language is vast and engaging.
Melissa and Kieron are looking at texts from the early 19th century and how spelling has changed since that time – specifically the journal of Mary Wordsworth.
