Playing around with AI to create some guided reading resources for the β€˜Power and Conflict’ anthology in the style of @SPBeale’s history template. The essays need a bit of editing but they may be of use for Year 10/11. Use/chuck/change as you see fit!

NEW β€˜Power and Conflict - The Interpretations’ revision booklet. I always get students to consider 3 interpretations of each poem & ask them to consider which they agree with the most. Great springboard for debate/new ideas. I’ve collated these into a booklet here πŸ‘‡πŸ»

I’m late to the party with this one but THIS BOOK. I’m only 25% of the way through and it is so good. One of those novels that becomes your entire personality - when I’m reading it, I’m immersed and when I’m not reading it, it’s all I’m thinking about. Superb!
