Introductory unit to "Of Mice and Men". I used this with KS3, Year 8. I have attached a 44 slide PowerPoint comprised of 12 lessons. This includes some background and historical context to the book, a focus on the descriptions of George and Lennie, a study of Curley's wife, set design of the Bunk House and analysis of the "Dream Farm". It also includes self assessment, peer assessment, an assessment on Curley's wife, scaffolding, detailed homework projects, group work and ICT research opportunities. I removed a lot of my learning objectives as they were very specific and for that reason, I have slashed the price to £7.99.

10 hour long lessons at least- maybe more - contained in one PowerPoint. This PowerPoint is 45 slides in length. Quality homework is also included. I also used a differentiated booklet that runs alongside the unit which I printed off for weaker students. I have also put in 2 other resources I used BUT you will need copies of Oliver Twist. This unit could easily be stretched out if you added class reading of quiet reading of the text. Includes background on Dickens' life and influences, the context he was writing within, creative writing around what London was like at the time, an example of the non fiction work of Dickens with a comprehension task, a speaking and listening task built around reforming schools and focus on the portrayal of the characters of Jack Dawkins and Bill Sykes. There is also an assessment opportunity built around Dickens' portrayal of Sykes, complete with a levelled itinary. The unit finishes with a fun subject appropriate task. There are multiple opportunities for self or peer assessment. The unit also links into persuasive writing, imperatives and correct use speech marks. *I removed the learning objectives because the ones I used were really specific to a challenging group. As a result of this, I have put the price down to £7.99.

A small unit of 6 lessons explaining two poems: "Duche et Decorum Est" by Owen and "Suicide in the Trenches" by Sassoon. It includes links to a brilliant documentary. It also contains an assessment, an ICT task based around the context and background of the two poems, an assessment writing frame, analysis and discussion of the poems, homeworks and a creative writing task. I have removed some learning objectives as they were very specific to the pupil I was working with. I used it in KS3 English. It could be useful at KS4. The feedback from the boys in the class was particularly interesting and they liked it a lot.

This entire 11 lesson unit would work well on its own, or as a supplementary lessons to an existing unit. I've used it with Year 7 and Year 8. The feedback from them was that they really enjoyed it and it also contains a lesson which I received an "Outstanding" observation for. The PowerPoint contains 59 slides. This is every lesson condensed and split lesson by lesson. This also includes speaking and listening tasks, a large written task, learning objectives, peer and self assessment opportunities, resources, group work, homework tasks and a final structured assessment based around the concept of Room 101. Topics include: persuasive devices, analysing speeches of famous people, persuasive advertising and introductory lessons which would be a great way to get to know a class. The famous people I focus on are Emma Watson, Charlie Chaplin, Winston Churchill and Mel Gibson's speech from "Braveheart" (amongst othetrs). The advertising campaign features an Apprentice style lesson where groups have to put together a pitch on a product, including persuasive devices. I have also attached some resources which are seperate to the PowerPoint to make life easier.
