A fun, interactive English Literature Quiz! From Children’s books to Shakespeare - check out your students’ literature knowledge in either tutor time or English lessons.
Using the controversial topic of having Christmas every day or not, students work in groups to prepare detailed arguments for one side or the other using writing to argue features. Students are guided on how to lead and be involved in a well structured debate and each person is given a specific role to ensure all students are involved and contributing to the debates. A really useful lesson for the end of the term but also helps students to develop their cohesive arguments, spoken language skills and more. Differentiated throughout.
As we study Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, we recap the links between the characters so far, how Puck’s mistake causes chaos in the play and how the characters speak to each other as Lysander falls in love with Helena and Helena and Hermia deal with the aftermath and artificial change in his character. Fully differentiated throughout.
As we study A Midsummer Night’s Dream we look at how dreams are presented in the play and the importance of the theme by analyzing key quotes from the end of Act 4 Scene 1. We look at how Demetrius and Hermia talk of dreams and try to understand what has happened to them, plus explore Bottom’s dream speech from the end of the act. Fully differentiated throughout.
As we finish our study of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, we explore the final speeches of Theseus, Oberon, Titania and Puck and consider how the play ends as a Shakespearean comedy. We complete our story shape structure graphs and evaluate the impact of the structure of the play on the audience. Fully differentiated throughout.
As students analyze Shakespeare comedy, they work in groups to create their own Shakespearean comedy - using genre conventions including themes, plot, setting, titles, types of character and more .Students are provided with detailed examples including a whole example play to help them, and detailed planning sheets so they can craft their comedies together in groups. Students then prepare and perform a scene from their own play, judging its success on class success criteria. A really engaging lesson for students of all ages. Fully differentiated throughout.

Looking at AQA English Language Paper 2 Question 5 from June 2018, students reflect on the strengths and areas to improve in their own answers around the topic of corruption in sport. Students then analyse a model example, pulling it apart based on the mark scheme which allows them to then make further improvements to their own work. Fully differentiated throughout.
In A Midsummer Night’s Dream we explore how Hermia feels after discovering both Demetrius AND Lysander in love with Helena. Students analyze how Shakespeare presents Hermia in Act 3 Scene 2 before we look at the concept of structure through story shapes and then create story shapes through graphs to represent the whole of the play. We consider why this scene might be so tense and how it might represent the ‘climax’ of the play, too. Fully differentiated throughout.
