The Tempest Mini SoW (10 Lessons + Resources)

This resource includes a mini SoW (10 lessons) surrounding the play ‘The Tempest’. It is perfect for student teachers who do not see their classes regularly or for teachers with shared classes who perhaps need a condensed but still ‘finalised’ scheme of work. Most lessons focus on a deep exploration of Act 1, however, do cover up to Act 4.

The lessons are intended for a Year 8 English class to develop the literacy skills needed for KS4. However, this SoW would also be suitable for other KS3 years. All lessons have cross-curricular links including History, Drama, Maths and more. All lessons that require worksheets are also included!

Lesson 1 - Introduction to play
Lesson 2 - Analysis of Act 1, Scene 1
Lesson 3 - Analysis of Act 1, Scene 2
Lesson 4 - Analysis of Caliban’s language
Lesson 5 - Writing P.E.E paragraphs
