The board will need to be printed on A3 and could be laminated for reuse. This is a really good way of getting students to revisit their learning and knowledge of the characters, themes, context and events of the novella in a fun and independent way. I have used this before and the students really enjoy it. All you will need it some dice to play. You could get students to think of their own questions and tasks too as an extension/challenge.

This SoW is ready to go. Decorated and video clips included complete with challenge activities. This covers the play 'Romeo and Juliet'. The SoW is based on watching the Baz Luhrmann version of the play and then extracts of key scenes to analyse and base creative writing on. It focuses on conflict, male aggression, character development and how these things link to contextual information. There are a couple of writing tasks including describing the scene at the Capulet's masquerade, challenging Romeo to a duel as Tybalt, and a persuasive speech as to who is to blame for Mercutio's death.

This covers analysing holiday and hotel adverts, brochures, reviews, travel writing and persuasive writing. It covers some of the new AQA Language exam skills so that year 8 can get used to some of the skills they will need to know in the years to come.

Lessons designed to teach year 7 the skills they will need to know for their GCSE. These lessons use two Test Packs created by AQA.

This scheme of work is based on the Usborne Classic Retold version of 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. Each lesson covers 1 chapter more or less and they aim to look at skills that students will need to be able to use in their new AQA GCSE exams. They think about structure, characterisation, description and PEE analysis as well as some contextual links.

Lessons to help students gain some confidence with speaking and listening skills for their exam.

Information about the papers, how long they are etc. and how they can revise successfully.

Lesson can be easily differentiated for different classes and abilities. Students to draw lines or eyes where they think the focus has altered. Students to cut and stick emojis onto the focus to show what effect is created there. They can then fill in the table. If they need extra support, they can use the focus card sort to help them.

A couple of fun lessons to teach students about haikus and limericks and promoting them to create their own. Could be taught as one lesson.

A revision resource to help students remember what they need to do to answer the questions, how many marks they get for each and some sentence openers. It will need printing on A3.

Reminders of timings and methods of answering questions.

A series of 17 lessons to develop students' descriptive writing skills in preparation for the new GCSE English Language descriptive writing task (targeted specifically at the new AQA GCSE - 8700 - Paper 1, Section B). It uses some of the poems from the Power and Conflict section of the AQA anthology as a stimulus, along with a little analytical exploration of them. This is the first unit we teach our Y10s but could be easily adapted to simply focus on descriptive writing, add to the poetry, etc. If you do cover this section of the anthology, it is ready to teach 'straight out the box', with all relevant resources. Plenty of examples of published writers to use as models.
