The Year 11 students have now completed their English and drama work based around the development of teenagers. This topic has been approached by first looking at the birth of teenagers in the 1940s. The pupils have been looking at different pieces of text to see how teenagers have been represented.
Each class member has completed an independent reading and writing exercise. Three different pieces of text were presented. A pros and cons column sheet was set up. The students were asked to use the three text resources to complete the pros and cons columns. This then led to an independent piece of writing explaining the issues in a little more detail.
Drama work has also been completed based around the topic of teenagers. Different script have been practised and rehearsed. These involve a teenage and an adult as a confrontation slowly builds up.
