Sinopsis

Redefining English for the More Able is a practical guide offering English teachers a range of strategies to stretch and challenge their students. Written by Ian Warwick, founder of London Gifted and Talented, and Ray Speakman,áthis book provides a fresh perspective on the purpose of English teaching and the benefits it can offer all students. Drawing on an array of ideas and examples from different genres of literature, the book discusses how âÇÖthreshold conceptsâÇÖ can be used to frame English teaching and push the boundaries of studentsâÇÖ learning. The chapters provide example lesson plans targeted at different age groups from Key Stages 2-5, and address different aspects of English, including short stories, poetry, film, drama and science fiction. Warwick and Speakmanáexamine how the requirements for teaching more able students have received more recent focus under Ofsted, and offer specific examples of activities and reflective questions that can engage students more deeply in their appreciation of English. This well researched and accessible guide will be an invaluable tool for English teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders wishing to reflect on new ways of motivating and teaching the more able in order to develop the intellectual curiosity of all their students.
