Chapter & Verse – opening the classroom door to share practice. Professional courses for teachers of English designed by Elaine McGowan and Ann Marie Garvey.

This webinar is aimed at mainstream teachers of Junior Cycle English.

Learning Outcomes:

We will explore how a selection of learning outcomes* can be brought to life through a range of learning experiences as students engage with Persichetti, Ramsey and Rothman’s film, Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse.

The webinar will illustrate how learning experiences can deepen and consolidate learning outcomes through key moments in the film, whilst also making links and connections from this learning to other text forms.

We will share how extended writing opportunities emerge allowing students to develop the Collection of Student’s Texts, CBA 2.

Teachers will gain insight into how their students may apply this learning to questions in the final state examination. Teachers who attend this webinar will receive a copy of the slides.

*Learning Outcomes in Focus: OL8, OL12, R6, R8, R9, W3, W4, W7, W8
