This webinar is aimed at mainstream teachers of Junior Cycle English. We will explore how a selection of learning outcomes* can be brought to life through a range of learning experiences as students engage with Persichetti, Ramsey and Rothman’s film, Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse.

The webinar will illustrate how learning experiences can deepen and consolidate learning outcomes through key moments in the film, whilst also making links and connections from this learning to other text forms. We will share how extended writing opportunities emerge allowing students to develop the Collection of Student's Texts, CBA 2. Teachers will gain insight into how their students may apply this learning to questions in the final state examination.

Teachers who attend this webinar will receive a copy of the slides.

This event is part of a series. Participants may register separately for any of the upcoming sessions taking place the 9th, 10th, 17th, 18th and 24th September.
