This concept enables students of literature to see a physical context for texts dated between 1600 and 1990 studied at KS 3 & 4. This approach enables readers to visualise written material and provides inspiration for students’ own writing.
A selection of text will be read form literary works, in which an aspect of an interior is described. Pupils will use these texts to generate questions regarding the inhabitants of the room and their contextual social history.
Choosing their preferred style, pupils will develop their own text including a character, an incident and a setting. We are happy to adapt to your set texts.
