This is a word document including some of the events in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. The class need to decide whether the events from the chapters (Chapters 5-8) are either Christie’s clues or misdirections given to confuse the readers.

This is a creative writing booklet for Paper 1 Question 5 that takes students through how to practice their writing. It has been used as a homework booklet and has spaces to write as well as a self relection on the back. There is text to analyse and pictures to help with their planning or writing.

Made for a set 3 target grades 4-6 English Literature group. These 5 lessons were designed for a first reading of A Christmas Carol - the lessons took longer than 5 hours as I also used the Disney version to play sections of the film to clarify what was happening, but there was a lot of modelling when we annotated the novella under visualisers and completed an assessment as well. There are close reading sections with an abundance of analysis questions, quotation focus tasks and theme and plot questions too.

This is the FOURTH booklet in my Literacy series! It has been designed for low ability KS4, KS3 (or maybe KS2) students to recap certain skills to cement their knowledge. This was designed for students struggling with skills for in class intervention and used for homework. It does mention Literacy Booklet 1, Literacy Booklet 2 AND Literacy Booklet 3 (available from my store). There are a range of activities in this booklets like: finding the nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in the sentences and describe the images, sorting these 4 techniques into boxes (like the noun task but on a bigger scale), finding verbs within a text and then saying the effect of them, the use of adverbs and considering the effect of them, recap of similes by finding them in a longer text and then further work on metaphors - two pages - and explaining which parts of the text are actual metaphors and then identifying what bits are being compared…and FINALLY (as before) a self assessment at the end.

This contains 3 lessons for The Laboratory with integrated context, analysis and tasks for students to complete when teaching The Laboratory. I have also included a copy of the annotated poem to assist the teaching of this poem. The three lessons will last 3 hours and when annotating the poem, this should be done under a visualiser. The tasks for students could be set as independent study time or homework, and will assist the further learning of the course.

Attached is a PowerPoint lesson that could stretch over 3 hours depending on the ability of your group. It goes over the first ideas of the poem, has an author study sheet, includes a terminology recap, questions for zoomed in parts of the poem and then a discussion about how it compares with other poems. It took one of my lower ability groups just shy of 3 lessons and that includes a live modelled annotated poem from me. They did enjoy it and said it helped them break it down.

Here we have two lessons in one powerpoint exploring the narrative plot and framing devices that Christie uses. There are slides with tasks on and other slides for students to take notes from. I have also included a document which is like a transcript for the lesson going through the information minus the tasks. The lesson should take two lessons and it is the students considering Christie’s authorial methods whilst also understanding the ending. It is the assumption that students have already read the whole novel. It is going over set-piece ending, framing devices and back to focalisation. Hopefully this will help when teaching.

This is a booklet using The Handmaid’s Tale focusing on question 3 structure and question 4 evaluation revision for Year 11. It’s designed for a set 2 and a set 3 in mind. There are bits of advice, flipped learning questions, analysis of questions (to be done under the visualiser), mark schemes for those questions and model answers that can be adapted and then carried on.

Some of these resources are for paper 2 question 4, English Language A Level directed writing task. Lots of articles included for analysing with the students, for independent work or under a visualiser. Included is also a mark scheme from AQA or a created one for the class to mark their work.

This scheme of work has been designed to recap the different sentence types and begin to think about how students describe to ensure they are adding description, but looking at the meaning behind the lessons. There are 13 lessons included in this scheme of learning, but some of them are slow writes which mean they can take more than one lesson so there could be roughly 17 out of them. This scheme of work was put in place to ensure students were given time to describe and have a go at writing, but also to look at how they introduce characters and how they can change them. Hope this helps!

Here is a small booklet including transition work for the open days of A Level English Literature - it is a small booklet to aid teaching the class for the new recruits!

Used as revision and for a mini in lesson test for Paper 1 in Year 10 - used for a mid to low ability set to ease them in with confidence.

One lesson that I use to introduce structure to students studying it for the first time. It really helps and film or short movie clips are a great way of tracking structure and thinking about the ideas surrounding it.

These worksheets were used as independent study sessions/homework to ensure that the students were learning outside of the curriculum. Feel free to download and hope they are useful!

A 6 week homework booklet designed for recalling what had been covered in lesson. At no point was this put together to necessarily challenge but more to reiterate and strengthen what had been studied from tasks and the novella. I found it useful and students learnt and recapped ideas easier which then assisted the learning within lesson. Great for going through under a visualiser and peer assessing answers, and for stengthening speaking and listening.

Another cover or poetry analysis grid. Part of our unseen poetry scheme where students had scaffolded questions and were taken through a series of tasks to complete. Worked well.

A cover sheet or full poetry analysis lesson with Mother Any Distance - this was part of our unseen poetry scheme whereby students were guided through a series of questions considering authorial intent.
