Getting pupils to engage and participate in group and class discussions in the secondary English classroom is a difficult and often undervalued teaching skill. Drama offers obvious opportunities, but Teaching Talking 1 shows that it's not just set-piece performances that can help.
A Year 7 class at Swanlea School in East London have been collaborating to devise unscripted pieces as "missing scenes" from a stage version of 'The Demon Headmaster'. Their teacher, Sangeeta Sharma, helps them to work logically and methodically to agree criteria for a "good performance" before they finish preparing their pieces. The class then use these same criteria to reflect on and evaluate their own and each other's performances and a vote for best piece.
Sangeeta is a recent PGCE graduate and the lesson is observed by John Yandell, one of her former tutors at the Institute of Education. Together they watch a video recording of the lesson and discuss key moments, opportunities and issues.

"Finding ways to help pupils engage with pre-1914 fiction can be a challenge.
In this programme, we follow teacher Bridget Johnson and her mixed-ability Year 9 class at Battersea Technology College, as they get to grips with the Sherlock Holmes short story, The Red-Headed League. The programme follows the planning, delivery and 'post-match' analysis of two key lessons. The first lesson focuses on pre-reading activities to get the pupils interested in the plot and characters, before they begin to read the story; while the second lesson looks at after-reading strategies to help pupils start to interrogate the text more closely, in preparation for their GCSE coursework.
Advisory teacher, Kate Oliver, from the English and Media Centre, is on hand throughout, to lend Bridget support and offer advice."

"Laura is a Year 9 pupil who is passionate about writing. She lets us into her world as we follow her developing a piece of extended creative writing over a period of a week. She explains her thought processes, from early plot, setting and general planning through various drafts to completion, narrating her writing journey as well as her story throughout. This gives viewers a fascinating insight into the processes of writing as experienced by a pupil, both in class and at home.
The programme is accompanied, on the website, by some useful insights into Laura's work by writing expert Denise Margetts.
[Note: the text of Laura’s story is given in early drafts. Laura later proof read and corrected her text with her teacher's help]"

Speaking and listening skills are often sidelined at KS3 in favour of reading and writing. Teaching Talking 2 follows Kate Bomford, a newly qualified teacher at Swanlea School, East London, as she plans and delivers a lesson based on the novel 'Holes'.
Structuring opportunities for purposeful speaking and listening into the mainstream work of the curriculum is especially important at Swanlea, where most of the pupils have English as an additional language. This Year 8 lesson involves pair work and a group sorting activity. Kate helps the class use speech to hypothesise and develop their thinking about some of the main characters and their motivations.
Kate's mentor is John Yandell, her former PGCE tutor at the Institute of Education. Together they review a video of the lesson and discuss problems, achievements and ways forward. The pupils themselves offer opinions on what works well for them and how much they appreciate the time to talk. "It helps me think", says one pupil.

"This programme offers three levels of engagement with a Sherlock Holmes short story with a particular focus on The Red-Headed League.
In The Magic of Sherlock Holmes, well-known author Philip Ridley shares his enthusiasm for the Sherlock Holmes stories both as a reader engaging with the language and characters, and as a writer appreciating the skill of Conan-Doyle.
In Holmes' London, Original London Walks Guide Corinna Marlowe, gives us a flavour of Victorian London, focusing on aspects of Time and Place, Crime and Detection, and Class and Society.
In Storyboarding An Extract, director Simon Cellan Jones - whose TV credits include 'Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Silk Stocking', talks us through his 6-frame storyboard of the dramatic bank vault scene in The Red-Headed League, and his strategies for translating the tension from text to screen.
And don't miss the 60-second extract of the same scene from Granada's 1985 version of The Red-Headed League with Jeremy Brett."

As a non-fiction genre, travel writing offers an excellent way in to understanding how texts work in the real world, and particularly, the ways in which they can fulfil more than one purpose. In this programme, English teacher Ava Houris, from Parliament Hill School for Girls in North London, teaches travel writing in preparation for the reading and writing requirements of the GCSE English exam. In conversation with consultant, Barbara Bleiman, of the English and Media Centre, Ava explores ways of going beyond the most basic features of text types, audiences and purposes, and uses a range of practical classroom strategies - such as graphic methods of planning, modeling writing and analysing real texts - to help students be more creative and lively in their non-fiction writing.
