A five-week course on Romeo and Juliet, designed for Year 9, but also suitable for GCSE students who need the text breaking down at home. Contains a GCSE-style assessment.
Designed to be used as a Google Slides on Google Classroom - students enter answers directly onto their own copy of the Slides and you can give them speedy feedback!
A resource for in-depth plot revision of GCSE Macbeth for Years 10 and 11s who may have studied the text a while ago and forgotten the details of the plot!
Quicker than re-reading the whole text with a class - each scene includes a summary video, a key plot question and key analysis question; each act ends with a plot summary gap fill and key character questions and quotes. Context ‘check-ins’ are built in to relevant parts of the plot to ensure students are applying key contexts to exact moments in the text.
Attached is a ‘student copy’ ready to be printed out for students (2 slides per page will save on printing) and a ‘teacher copy’ with answers to the Do Now and gap fills.
I have designed this for use over the course of a week and a half to prepare students for more in-depth analytical revision ahead of their final exam!
A comprehensive, illustrated handout to work through with students or to give them as a revision resource to work through on their own. Features a knowledge quiz to begin with, a context comprehension, several extracts with side-by-side Shakespearean original and modern translation to aid their understanding and analysis, and a final sample exam question for them to practice.
A fully illustrated resource to work through with students in class or to give as a revision material.
The themes section gets them to probe their AO3 understanding of the big ideas and contexts of the theme, the AO1 references as to when the theme appears in the text; the quotes section asks them to recall AO1 knowledge of when the quote appears, modernise it to demonstrate their understanding of what is being said, analyse for their AO2 and link across the text and to AO3 context.
