The Struggle for Secession, 1966-1970: A Personal Account of the Nigerian Civil War by Ntieyong U. Akpan The Brothers’ War: Biafra & Nigeria by Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1972 Basic background information The Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War, arose from the wake of Nigeria’s independence from Britain in 1960.

The Essay on Theories on War
Negativity comes to mind on the issue of war as it is heard to be brutal or fatal, especially on innocent people and one cannot help but to hope for an outcome of peace or prosperity. Some respectful philosophers such as Mo Tzu, Sun Tzu, Eugene Delacroix, Pablo Picasso, Margaret Mead, Kenzaburo Oe, and Jean Bethke Elshtain can be found writing about their theories on war and peace in the text ...
Structure of this scheme of work This scheme provides five learning sequences which are designed to be flexible and to extend over several lessons at the discretion of the teacher. Each sequence is structured in the same way with episodes of starter, introduction, development and main plenary; however episodes are each substantial learning activities and usually have a mini-plenary to consolidate learning. Sequence 1 allows students explore the nature of the language as a text written in a ‘World English’ and to locate the text geographically and socially.
Following this are three sequences based on themes from the text which can be used during reading at appropriate points or at the end of the text. They are ‘stand-alone’ sequences. Reading the novel The length and complexity of reading will depend on the class; however it is recommended that a good audio book version is used to familiarise the class and teacher with the rhythm of the text and unfamiliar pronunciations. (HarperCollins audio book ISBN 978-0-00-727745-2).
Students will also benefit from keeping track of the geographical locations of the text using a map of Nigeria (see Sequence 1), keeping a timeline of events as the narrative shifts and keeping a journal of their understanding, thoughts and notes as the novel progresses. A glossary of unfamiliar language can be collated as a class, although decoding strategies are an integral part of reading this type of text. While useful for all students studying this text at GCSE, this scheme is specifically designed to prepare students for AQA English Literature at Foundation and Higher levels.
Assessment Objectives (for Unit 1B Exploring Cultures) • AO1 respond to texts critically and imaginatively; select and evaluate relevant textual detail to illustrate and support interpretations. • AO2 explain how language, structure and form contribute to writers’ presentation of ideas, themes and settings. • AO4 relate texts to their social, cultural and historical contexts; explain how texts have been influential and significant to self and other readers in different contexts and at different times.

Simply, fluent readers recognize the words and comprehend their overall meaning at the same time. Unfortunately, Reading fluency is a significant struggle for many.
