This lesson goes through the poem for a low ability group.

Students enjoyed this lesson before going into more detail later on in the year.

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.

This is the THIRD booklet in my Literacy series! It has been designed for 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 and Literacy Booklet 2 (available from my store). There are a range of activities in this booklets like: a quick quiz to do a knowledge check at the beginning, types of nouns recap going over them with a different list, finding noun types in sentences and extracts, making inferences again with a different extract, then a digging deeper making inferences page of tasks, recap on similes, recap on metaphors and then identifying similes and metaphors and creating their own and finally (as before) a self assessment at the end.

This is the SECOND booklet in my Literacy series! It has been designed for KS3 (or maybe KS2) students to recap certain skills to cement their knowledge.

This is 6 lessons worth of a cover booklet focusing on Key Stage 4 AQA English Language Paper 2 and Poetry Tasks. This was set for a low ability group so there may be more than 5 lessons attached.

This booklet has been created to be used alongside a PowerPoint (which can be made from this booklet) or on its own. It contains a lot of information for Key Stage 5 or college students on what to do and expect when preparing to live independently. Sections include: Before you leave When looking at halls of residence or renting Cleaning and Hygiene matters Saving on Utilities Medical Matters Duvet Togs Explained Finances: basic information about which ID to need, a student account, ISA and savings account Planning Meals Laundry Labels Top student accounts 2023/2024 ready for research The sections include personal help and experiences alongside hints and tips of what to do to prepare and begin living away from home. It was made to be used for a Key Stage 5 Enrichment programme once a fortnight and the feedback has been that it has proved very useful alongside a lesson and research with students being able to ask questions.

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 lesson has been used to go over War Photographer and Storm on the Island - both poems have been pre-read and looked at, but not in lots of detail. The lesson is to a mid to low ability Year 10 group. The lesson takes students through vocabulary tacking and understanding, and also what’s happening in Storm on the Island through a storyboard activity, before then leading to planning how conflict is presented in War Photographer and Storm on the Island. I hope it’s helpful!

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.

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!

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.

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!

This lesson is designed to assist A Level English Language students on preparing to write their commentary element for their coursework. The PPT should be introduced over two lessons and have examples of a commentary attached to it (I have included two examples from my students from previous years). The lesson should be printed (certain slides should be) for the students to follow and assist their own levels of analysis. To plan, get the students to have a look at the language levels that link together then create paragraphs analysing them referencing the style model as they go. My biggest tip would be to get students to write paragraphs based on the language levels first, and then see if they can piece together the essay with those paragraphs. My students seem to discuss the style model too much to begin with, rather than analysing their own work referencing the style models. Hope this helps!

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.

These two PPTs go through how to teach top set students (to be delivered in a hall of set 1s and set 2s) how to adapt their writing ensuring they are focusing on expanding their ideas. Not only does this allow students to explore ideas linking them together, but it also gives them an introduction and first paragraph. It should be noted that these will not be able to be replicated perfectly in the exam, but they should aim high to be able to recreate what they need to in order to gain the top marks.
