Here are a few pictures from today’s poetry workshops with Jess Green, a Leicester-based poet who visited Lutterworth College to work with our students in Years 7, 8, 10 and 11.

It was a fantastic morning, and the students involved produced some exceptional poetry of their own.

You can find a couple of the poems – by Tegan Jones and Cat Wall in Year 11 – at the link below.

I Come From – Tegan Jones and Cat Wall

Thanks to Jess for running the sessions. If you’d like to read some more of her poetry, you can find her collection Burning Books in the library.

We’ll be contacting winners in the final week of term.

It was great to see so many of you at Miss Marvin’s session on the ‘death’ of the author. You can find details of the next session above.

Don’t forget to sign up outside the English Staff Room – places are first come, first served.

It’ll be a useful session for those of you aiming for grades 7, 8 and 9 and revising for your pre-Christmas assessments. You might also want to download these for your iPods in advance!

Any questions? See Miss Marvin or Mr Shovlin!

 

 

Have a look!

 

Your English teacher is no doubt always asking you to ‘vary your sentences’ to help add a bit of flavour to your writing – and to improve your grades in the process.

Here’s the first of a series of posters designed to give you some useful techniques to try out.

Why not give them a go?

 

Fancy seeing Language doyen David Crystal in the flesh, A Level Language students?

Then sign up for our English Language trip!

All the details can be found in this letter, and you’ve not got long to get signed up!

You can find the full agenda here. It’s going to be, as Miss Marvin would say, ‘#totesamazelols’.
