As we finish A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and explore the second half of Stave Four, we look at how the death of Tiny Tim impacts on the Cratchits and how Scrooge reacts to seeing his own gravestone. We explore key quotes, key themes and evaluate as writers what kind of ending we would choose for the text and Stave Four. A very detailed, engaging and differentiated lesson.

Moreover, we look at the different scenes that Scrooge sees and his reactions to each of them, before making predictions about what we think will happen when Scrooge sees the Cratchits once again.A detailed, engaging and fully differentiated lesson.

As we study A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, we analyse the beginning of Stave 3 and look at how The Ghost of Christmas Present is introduced to us and how the use of language affects the readers’ interpretations of the character. Moreover, we look at the use of imagery in the description of the Christmas activity taking place throughout the city as the Ghost and Scrooge travel through the streets. 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.

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 we study A Midsummer Night’s Dream we look at the play within a play in Act 5 Scene 1 and how Bottom and the mechanicals present Pyramus and Thisbe to the wedding audience. Students create their own performances of Pyramus and Thisbe before analyzing the comments made by Theseus, Hippolyta and the other characters as they watch and interrupt the actors. 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.
In Shakespeare’s A Midsummer NIght’s Dream we begin to draw the main plot to a close as Hermia and Helena are together with Lysander and Demetrius. We look at how Puck is able to bring some sense of harmony to the play, and we explore how Oberon is presented as he removes the love spell from his wife Titania as she dotes on the donkey-headed Bottom! We explore key quotes and language features. 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.
As we study A Midsummer Night’s Dream we look at Act 3 Scene 2 and how Puck’s mistake causes chaos and confusion between Hermia, Helena, Demetrius and Lysander. We analyse key quotes and create analytical paragraphs about how Shakespeare is able to build up tension within the scene. Includes video clips, differentiated activities, models, scaffolds, key quotes, sentence starters and more. Fully differentiated throughout.
