EnglishToday we will be learning about the British Poet and Novelist DH Lawrence.

D.H. Lawrence (1885 – 1930) is best known for his infamous novel 'Lady Chatterley's Lover,' which was banned in the United States until 1959. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. He wrote in a wide variety of genres, including poetry, open letters and journalism as well as novels. Lawrence himself considered his writings an attempt to challenge what he considered to be the oppressive cultural norms of modern Western culture. He once said, "If there weren't so many lies in the world . . . I wouldn't write at all."

Fun Fact:DH Lawrence taught at Davidson Road School, in Addiscombe, from October 1908 to December 1911!

Works by DH Lawrence:• Lady Chatterley’s

Lover• The Rainbow• The Prussian Officer

and other stories• Dreams Old• Dreams Nascent

Storm in the Black Forest

Now it is almost night, from the bronzy soft skyjugfull after jugfull of pure white liquid fire, bright white

tipples over and spills down,and is gone

and gold-bronze flutters beat through the thick upper air.

And as electric liquid pours out, sometimesa still brighter white snake wriggles among it, spilled

and tumbling wriggling down the sky:and then the heavens cackle with uncouth sounds.

And the rain won’t come, the rain refuses to come!

This is the electricity that man is supposed to have masteredchained, subjugated to his own use!

supposed to!

D.H. Lawrence

Do you or anyone in your family come from a different country? Do you know anyone who comes from a different country? Do you have any family who live in a different place?

Lots of people in this country have come from other countries – or their, families came from other countries. This is a good thing, because it means we have a mix of lots of different people living together.

No matter what part of the world you are from, it is important to remember that we are all part of one community. We are all part of the human race.

Mr Rampersad is from Trinidad and Tobago.Mrs Groza is from Romania.Miss Cotterill is from England.Miss Kee is from Northern Ireland. They are labelled on the map on the left.

Whilst we are all from different places, we all have the same job, which we all love. We each have unique skills that help us to do our job.

Our differences make us unique and special and it has the potential to solve many problems that face the human race, for example-currently the world is coming together to share their unique skills to find a vaccine for the coronavirus.

Task: Look at this map of the world. Do you know anyone who comes from a different country? Do you have any family who live in a different place? Identify what

places they are on the map.

Challenge: Think about what is special about your family or family that are from different places around the world. Share what makes them special with a

member of your household.
