THE CHALLENGE OF TEACHING ANALYSIS: DO WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR PRACTICES?
Teaching the process of analysing texts in order for students to produce a spoken or written response remains amongst the most exciting and difficult challenges we face as a community of English teachers. Most recently, the high-stakes nature of unseen examinations for our ssenior students have intensified our focus on this crucial area of our practice.
Building on lessons from ETAQ's 2020 student and teacher events and ongoing QCAA advice, the May Masterclass will focus on skills for analysis and response across years 7 to 12, exploring ways for students to become increasingly independent.
Keynote speakers: Lisa Bottomley (QCAA) and Lindsay Williams. The program is now available and registrations are open. Registrations will close on Friday 7 May.
