Zlata's diary by Zlata Filipovic

I'm trying to concentrate so that I can do my homework (reading) but I simply can't. Something is going on in town. You can hear gunfire from the hills!
This entry in Zlata's diary in April 1992 shows how the war draws relentlessly closer to her home in Sarajevo. When she starts her diary, Zlata tells of her normal, happy life with her family and friends. But soon they are fighting to survive. Zlata's very personal account is a vivid portrait of an innocent child caught up in a terrible war. |

Writing our Past
|
A handbook which uses biographies about black people who were part of British society to develop a mix of literacy and history skills. The contents are organised around the following themes: planning and preparation, teaching and learning, assessing, and evaluating. 'Teaching and learning' is full of practical ideas: on the use of ideas grids and writing frames to improve literacy and develop research skills; on the introduction of a range of genres through biography (facsimiles of documents, dialogue, diary extracts, explanatory or descriptive sections etc.); and on the use of drama, role play and board games to enhance learning. Although most of the suggested biographies relate to England the approach is still very relevant for teachers in other parts of the UK. |
