| The
KS3 topics in 'Beowulf to Buzzwords' offer resources to
teachers to encourage students to explore the development
of English including origins of words, borrowings and
changes over time. A range of extracts from literature,
word-matching, word-building and creative activities is
designed to enable the student to engage with the English
language and begin to grasp some of its story and its
potential for creativity and fun. There are printouts
and springboards for class activities.
The
Post-16 topic menu offers opportunities for students
to engage with the development of the English language
through texts, exercises and activities. Students can
trace the origins of words through extracts from literature,
make comparisons across time and use the resource to
increase their understanding of the wealth and potential
of the language we have today. Aspects of the English
language past and present are presented in ways designed
to enhance the study of English language and literature
at A/AS levels.
