DS, PART 4

String bending offers us guitarists a highly effective way to evoke a wide range of sounds and emotions from our instrument and emulate some of the qualities of the...

Pupil outcome: I can explain and explore the key events of Chapter 9 of 'Lord of the Flies'. Key learning points: - Simon wakes up after fainting, sees the parachutist and realises the boys have mistaken the dead body for the beast. -...

Pupil outcome: I can take part in role play to deepen my understanding of characters’ perspectives in a key part of the build-up in ‘A Kind of Spark’. Key learning points: - The events culminating in the meeting between Miss Murphy and...

Pupil outcome: I can explore how a turning point in a narrative affects a character’s emotions. Key learning points: - ‘Escape from Pompeii’ builds tension as the story progresses, drawing readers into the narrative of the eruption. -...

Pupil outcome: I can explain how tension is built in 'The Twisted Tree'. Key learning points: - The novel gets more frightening and tense as it progresses, because of the increasing threat to Martha's life. - Writers often raise tension...

Pupil outcome: I can understand what the climax of the novel is. Key learning points: - Martha visits Hel in the underworld. - Hel gives Martha a magical cord that could allow her to return the dead to the underworld. - Martha's mother...

Pupil outcome: I can improve a letter which recounts an imagined experience in the trenches by using a range of sentence lengths and fronted adverbials. Key learning points: - Rhythm is the beat, flow, or pattern of a piece of music or...

Pupil outcome: I can show understanding of Pat Barker's ‘The Silence of the Girls’ through comprehension and annotation. Key learning points: - Briseis is a character from Greek mythology; she is given to Achilles (a renowned warrior) as...

Pupil outcome: I can consider how Tolkien uses onomatopoeia, sentence fragments and short sentences to craft an effective cliffhanger. Key learning points: - A writer might use a cliffhanger to create tension or subvert the reader's...

Pupil outcome: I can use interesting structural features to create an engaging narrative opening.

Key learning po
ints:
- You can utilise elements from a traditional story arc to help you create an interesting narrativ
e...

Pupil outcome: I can select and write an effective ending for a fictional story. Key learning points: - We might find a resolution reassuring because it teaches us that society can return to order and justice will be done. - A...

Pupil outcome: I can understand and explain how Priestley uses structure for effect in ‘An Inspector Calls’. Key learning points: - The cliffhanger at the end of the play gives the play an ambiguous and unresolved ending. - Priestley...

Pupil outcome: I can structure my piece of gothic writing to build tension. Key learning points: - It is important to create tension in Gothic writing because it keeps your reader in a state of anticipation. - Keeping the reader in a...

Pupil outcome: I can explain how Shelley crafts an unsettling atmosphere on the night of the birth of the Creature. Key learning points: - On a dreary night in November, Frankenstein brings his creation to life. - He despises his...

This content explains how to solve a physics problem involving a sphere suspended by a cord and pushed by a horizontal breeze, holding it in equilibrium at an angle. Learn to apply Newton's Laws and resolve forces to find the magnitude...

This content analyzes a physics problem involving a monkey climbing a rope to lift a package, applying Newton's Laws of Motion. Learn to calculate the minimum acceleration required to lift the package and the subsequent acceleration and...

This content explains how to determine the masses of three connected boxes hanging in equilibrium by applying Newton's Second Law of Motion. Learn to use free body diagrams and tension forces to solve for unknown masses in a stationary...

This content analyzes a physics problem involving a ball connected by two strings to a rotating vertical rod, undergoing circular motion. It demonstrates how to calculate the tension in the lower string, the net force on the ball, and...

This content explains how to calculate the normal force on a box inside an accelerating elevator system using Newton's Laws of Motion. It details how to first determine the system's acceleration from the forces on one cab, then apply...

This content outlines a structured approach to solving a physics problem involving a chain of five links being lifted vertically with constant acceleration. It emphasizes the combined application of Newton's Second and Third Laws of...

This content explores the dynamics of a connected elevator system to calculate the normal force exerted on a box inside one of the accelerating cabs. It demonstrates the application of Newton's Second Law by first determining the...

This physics problem demonstrates how to calculate the work done by the tension force as a cart is pulled up an incline using a rope and pulley system. It covers concepts of work, tension, and inclined planes.

This content explains Newton's Second Law for Rotation (τnet =Iα), drawing a clear analogy with its linear counterpart. It then demonstrates its application by solving a detailed problem involving a falling block and a rotating disk,...
