AQA Poetry Anthology: full revision lesson on theme of identity with lots of guided writing

(0)
A super clear, colourful 42 slide powerpoint that covers a comparison of ‘Checking Out Me History’ with ‘Tissue’. There are plenty of opportunities for students to work individually, in pairs or small groups, depending on the class dynamics. There are sample answers for all tasks and engaging activities which help students improve their skills. There is a model answer at the end. There are also two planning exercises where the students use the same points for ‘Checking Out Me History’ to compare to ‘Remains’. Students find this very useful. This lesson takes 1-2 hours, depending on how much writing you ask the students to complete. My students have found it engaging and really helpful. I hope yours do too!

Women in 'Macbeth': revision lesson with question and full answer AQA/OCR

(0)
An engaging, super clear 51 slide powerpoint which takes a class through the presentation of women in ‘Macbeth’, using key quotations which are then used to tackle an exploding extract question. There are plenty of opportunities for short, focused activities by the students with slides giving answers for all activities. The lesson finishes with an exam question and guided activities to help students plan and then write their answers. A full model answer is also included. The lesson works best as revision. It takes between 1 and 2 hours, depending on how much writing the students complete. This is suitable for the AQA and OCR exam boards but can easily be adapted for other exam boards.
