  3. The British Take some Picts, Celts and Silures And let them settle, Then overrun them with Roman conquerors. Remove the Romans after approximately 400 years Add lots of Norman French to some Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Vikings, then stir vigorously. Mix some hot Chileans, cool Jamaicans, Dominicans, Trinidadians and Bajans with some Ethiopians, Chinese, Vietnamese and Sudanese. Then take a blend of Somalians, Sri Lankans, Nigerians And Pakistanis, Combine with some Guyanese And turn up the heat. Sprinkle some fresh Indians, Malaysians, Bosnians, Iraqis and Bangladeshis together with some Afghans, Spanish, Turkish, Kurdish, Japanese And Palestinians Then add to the melting pot. Leave the ingredients to simmer. As they mix and blend allow their languages to flourish Binding them together with English. Allow time to be cool. Add some unity, understanding, and respect for the future, Serve with justice And enjoy. Note: All the ingredients are equally important. Treating one ingredient better than another will leave a bitter unpleasant taste. Warning: An unequal spread of justice will damage the people and cause pain. Give justice and equality to all. Benjamin Zephaniah

  8. Objective Develop note-taking skills to differentiate between information that is important and that which is background . Use the space that you have around the poem and on pages 7 of your passport to make notes about the history of the British. 1 Use the powerpoint that is saved on the wiki to make notes on the first two verses of the poem. 2 Follow the web links to read about the experiences of the British 'Windrush' immigrants after the Second World War. 3 Follow the other BBC link to find out more about where other British immigrants and why after 1950. 4 Start brainstorming ideas for your Peruvian recipe poems. Do you already know the ingredients that you're going to use or do you need to research these?

  9. Peruvian recipe poem Use the brainstorm that you have to start writing a draft of your Peruvian recipe poem. ·Remember to use the verbs that we highlighted in Benjamin Zephaniah's poem. ·Don´t forget any ingredients ·use the Peruvian geography ·Give detailed instructions otherwise, the recipe won´t work. ·To be clever the verbs should reflect the preparation that is needed. For example, you probably can't "sprinkle" Andean people as a finishing touch as they are one of the main ingredients of the recipe.

  10. Extension task Use your knowledge from history class to write a ´jubilee recipe´ for the last 60 years. What ´ingredients´ have changed in the recipe since
