Y9: ‘THE TEMPEST’ MODULE, SUMMER
1, 2020
Instructions for Use Hello Year 9. Your topic for this half term (Summer 1) is ‘The Tempest’ by William Shakespeare. The following package has been put together to help you study the module in a structured way, as we would in class. You will need to do some independent reading and research to help you. These are skills which will really help you in the future with your GCSE’s! We will not be able to read the play together in class, so you will need to do some background research yourselves. There is a lot of information on ‘The Tempest’ on BBC Bitesize, so searching for that in Google will help you research the story, the background of the author, the context and the main themes. Using the sheet, spend a week on each task. Think about different and creative ways in which you can produce and present your work (there are some hints with each task). As well as this, you also have a list of spellings for each week. Practice these by yourself or with a family member. At the end of the half-term, we will be able to test on these via Spelling Shed. As well as your main tasks and the spellings, use the reading log to record any reading you do. This can be filled in and emailed back to your teacher for the awarding of achievement points. Always remember, reading is one of the most important ways of improving your literacy, punctuation and spelling skills. It also expands your imagination and is very good for your overall mental well-being. Any work completed can be emailed in to your teacher; excellent pieces can be displayed on a Wall of Pride or the Academy Twitter account. Happy working. Take care and stay safe!
