Description

Making Meaning is intended for students at Keystage 4 who are following a GCSE course in English. Each chapter in the book aims to encourage students to explore and experiment widely with language, and thereby fully respond to the requirements for English in the National Curriculum. Making Meaning has two parts. The first part, ways of Communicating, contains a series of chapters each attending to language rather than theme as the main focus of study. The structure of each chapter encourages students to take a role in shaping their own learning, with sections entitled Starters, Reading material, Activities, and Techniques. The sections cross-refer to the second part of the book, Ways of Working. This part provides guidance on the process of language work and is written especially to encourage coursework activity. Making Meaning offers a wide range of stimulus material and pays particular attention to the development of study skills. Using the book as a learning resource rather than a formal coursebook, students will be involved in: talking and reading; interpreting; criticising; creating; making meaning.
