Two lessons on this war poem that are differentiated and structured to support students when they are developing their comments on language.

Two lessons with different titles to give students opportunities to develop their narrative writing skills.

A great resource to get students to evaluate a exam response to a question and then consider how it could be improved.

A whole lesson on the theme of ambition that is differentiated and focused on getting students to develop their exam responses.

A fully differentiated resource for Macbeth that includes bronze, silver, gold, teacher example PEE chain for students to assess, a gossip activity to share information in a fun and collaborative way and PEER assessment.

An interactive lesson focused on the theme of class, which includes: - LOs on every slide - An interactive information gathering exercise - A task to evaluate an exemplar paragraph - A fun mini review where students pick an image to represent their progress midway through the lesson - An exam question, which is differentiated to help scaffold answers - Peer assessment with success criteria

A fully differentiated lesson on the theme of 'order vs chaos' from Macbeth. It includes: - a fun interactive starter of true or false to get students to think about the theme - an example PEE response for students to assess - scaffolded bronze, silver, gold for when they write their own response - fun mini-review where they pick a picture that shows their progress - peer assessment - plenary - LOs on every slide

Three lessons complete with exam questions and extracts. They include: - bell tasks, - starters - Main 1 - mini review using pictures so it is more fun - Main 2 - Plenary They are differentiated using bronze, silver, gold and are structured so that students build up their knowledge ready to answer the GCSE exam question. The three lessons are on: violence, Lady Macbeth and the theme of ambition.

A model answer for Macbeth which has a differentiated task. The students need to annotate the margin using the marking codes and then consider how the response could be improved. This can be used to focus year 11 students on revision and on what their responses should include in their exam.

This handy A3 resource is ideal for revising key themes and characters from Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’. The sheet has 12 questions linked to the AQA spec (but could be adapted for other specs easily) and has 12 extracts, which provide key moments from across the whole of the play. I am using this myself to prepare my year 11s for their Literature examination.

A differentiated lesson for narrative writing that includes spelling tasks, LOs on every slide, differentiated tasks and also peer assessment. There are three possible narrative titles for students to complete to ensure they can develop their narratives with more than one opportunity to do so.

Key quotes along side a task differentiated by bronze, silver, gold - great as a revision tool for students to learn key quotes for exams.

Three revision tasks that are differentiated that focus on themes, characters with the final task allowing students to pick a part an exemplar to understand how they should structure their responses for their GCSE exam.

This handy resource breaks down what you need to do for each question. Laminate this so students can grab them when they answer questions as this will boost their independence and focus them on the specific points they need to remember.

You could cut these out and get students to rank order them to justify, which is better and why. This can be used for a homework, revision task before an exam. This could also be used as part of a task within a lesson. There are five responses to an exam question on Eric that gradually become more perceptive and detailed. Alongside the responses is a bronze, silver and gold differentiated task to challenge all learners. There is an extension task (push your thinking) to add additional challenge. This is something I have used with year 11 to help develop their understanding of the character, context, writer’s intentions and to teach the skills of writing a detailed reading response.

Three answers that show different levels of the mark scheme, for the theme of betrayal. I have asked students to read all three, highlight the sections that are analytical and explain what makes 2, better than 1 and what makes response 3, better than 2. There is a bronze, silver, gold task and PYT for challenge. I have also demonstrated that the theme questions should be explored in an evaluative way, as done in response 3, where the answer explores the type of betrayal too.

A model answer for the whole play that you can add to an extract of your choice. I have used this as a starter activity then changed the question focus to ambition so students could apply the points they had read. It has a bronze, silver, gold task with a PYT challenge to stretch the most able.

A brand new, unseen paper for English Language paper 2 with a modern, engaging text and a 19th century diary entry. The paper also includes a helpful grid to scaffold answers making revision easier and helping students to form their own answers. There is also a section B writing activity that includes a planning sheet. I have used this with my own year 11 classes, which helped them to develop their paper 2 exam responses, particularly the synthesis Q2 and the Q4 comparison.
