This anthology enriches the KS3 English curriculum with diverse texts, fostering inclusivity and engagement for students from the start of secondary school.
The Who We Are KS3 Anthology Teacher Pack is a thoughtfully curated collection of 24 diverse texts designed to enhance the Key Stage 3 English curriculum. This anthology is a finalist for the Education Resources Awards 2024, reflecting its quality and relevance in contemporary education. With contributions from an expert panel of writers and teachers, it aims to introduce students to a range of representative and inclusive contemporary literature.
The anthology provides teachers with the tools to help all students see themselves reflected in the texts they read, fostering a sense of connection and engagement from the outset of secondary school. It includes a variety of genres, such as poetry, fiction extracts, and non-fiction pieces, including speeches and spoken sources, all aimed at inspiring students and developing their writing skills.
Teachers can feel assured in delivering engaging lessons using the comprehensive teaching guidance, context notes, language support, and ready-made activities included in the Who We Are KS3 Anthology Teacher Pack. The materials are fully editable, downloadable, and photocopiable, allowing for flexibility in teaching and ease of sharing across departments. This anthology not only enriches the curriculum but also encourages a more inclusive approach to literature in the classroom.
'I love the way the lessons are planned with plenty of resources to help and support the students. The book has such a diverse range: with all my 16 years’ experience in education, I don't think I've seen anything like it!
There's so much to work with: poetry, fiction and non-fiction and speeches which particularly came in useful when working with the current year 11 for their English speaking exam earlier this year.
Would highly recommend! Every English department should have a copy.'
I-Tasha Honeyghan, Behaviour Practitioner, Stoke Dameral Community College
“At Ashfield School we have used both anthologies as part of our drive to include more diverse and inclusive texts which prompt discussion and debate around some most complex and challenging issues – such as prejudice, stereotypes, social media pressures.
[These] have been very well received and have broadened our curriculum to ensure that we have interesting and engaging texts (and excellent associated resources) to help engage students whilst teaching the question format and structure of the exam.”
Deborah Price, Ashfield School
“We bought the texts in an effort to diversify our curriculum further and because the texts and resources within the books seemed appropriate for our students.
So far, we’ve used the material to write assessment papers and as comprehensions, and we will be looking to incorporate more of them in our poetry and non-fiction schemes of work in the future. It’s very much a work in progress, but we are really pleased we have both books!”
