Jekyll and Hyde Scheme of Work This well-presented PowerPoint contains twenty-four engaging one-hour lessons (326 slides) to fully prepare students for their GCSE exam. The lessons focus on AQA GCSE English Literature Paper 1, Section B (The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde). Please watch the attached YouTube video for a run through of a full lesson, as well as a demonstration of other features of the scheme. There are a wide range of tasks (listed below) that focus on building the skills needed for AO1, AO2, and AO3 - including practice questions, original model responses, extension tasks and text extracts. The PowerPoint includes a range of questions that are modelled on the exam (including a baseline and an end of unit assessment). Every chapter, key theme, and key character is covered. Additionally, there are also weekly exam-based homework tasks, and three extra exam-based questions that could be used as cover work, or as extra revision. To keep students engaged throughout, I have included a wide variety of methods to explore the text, its characters, and its themes, including: drama tasks, debates, creative writing, non-fiction writing, group planning, and even a lesson where they study graphology. To scaffold for my students, we read through the novel and highlighted every word that they were unfamiliar with. I have included a copy of the entire text in Microsoft Word format with easier synonyms next to each of these unfamiliar words to make ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ easier for the students to engage with.

I was struggling to find a decent pack of cover lessons for English that was full of engaging material that would last a whole lesson, as there is nothing worse than waking up ill and having to set cover work. So I decided to make one. There are 14 activities in total, covering the following topics Unseen Poetry (2 lessons) Shakespeare (2 lessons) English Language Paper 1: Question 5 (2 lessons) English language Paper 2: Question 5 (2 lessons) Class Reader Novel (1 lesson) Text comprehension (English language Q1-3 style) (2 lessons) Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar Quiz Subject Terminology Word search & Cross word Each activity is designed to fit on one sheet to make it easy to print straight from PowerPoint. Minimal teacher input is needed in case a non-specialist cover teacher is supplied. The slides could also be printed off and used as homework or extra revision materials. Also included, is the PDF version of the PowerPoint slides. You can find my KS4 cover pack here: https://goo.gl/XKzkZr Please also take a look at my other resources. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

This comprehensive PowerPoint, when printed (or emailed) as a booklet, can be used as an English Language intervention and also makes an ideal revision aid. It is modelled on the AQA 9-1 GCSE English Language new specification and includes eight sessions covering both paper one and paper two helping pupils to feel more prepared for their exams. With over 140 slides, this booklet has a series of easy to follow activities, exam questions and model answers for each of the ten questions of the GCSE. Each session is designed for students to be able to work through independently, or in small groups. Personally, I have given it as revision to my students, where they work through the booklet in their own time and use what they have learned on the homework tasks - which I then mark and give feedback on and my pupils have enjoyed the challenges and gained confidence in their exam technique. It could be used for isolation and exclusion tasks, extra revision, class work, homework, for intervention groups, or for GCSE re-sit students. The tasks are aimed at enabling pupils to obtain a grade 5 or above. Skills from all six AQA Assessment Objectives of the English Language course are included, along with extracts from the mark scheme and starter tasks centered around improving the AO6 and grammar skills of the students. There are four GCSE practice papers included: Paper One - Dracula Paper One - The Red Room Paper Two - Bank Robberies Paper Two - Prisons Please check out my other resources. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

This is a collection of PowerPoints and resources that accompany a series of YouTube videos. The aim is to help students revise the poems in AQA’s ‘Power and Conflict Poetry’ cluster. I will add to this collection as I create more videos. The YouTube videos can be found by searching ‘Pate Resources Poetry’ The videos explore the slides in much more depth and are useful for students who are revising, home learning, or who have missed lessons and need to catch up. Please note, these PowerPoints are not lessons. They are a collection of slides with notes to help in the revision of the poems. There are also a couple of small revision activities in them. I have included the PowerPoints in PDF format, as well as PPTX. Many more high-quality resources can be found at my shop: PateResources Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

This PowerPoint contains ten activities in total (listed below). These are designed to be given out during a cover lesson, homework, revision activity or as a starter activity in class. The word searches contain words relating to characters, subject terminology and themes - a revision tool to re-introduce students to the text. 1 - Macbeth 2 - Language Terminology 3 - Literature Terminology 4 - An Inspector Calls 5 - Jekyll & Hyde The crosswords feature a key quotation from the text with a word missing as the clue. Students have to use this information to complete the quote and fill in the crossword. This works well as a method to get students using and memorising key quotations to help them in the closed book exams. 1 - Macbeth 2 - An Inspector Calls 3 - Jekyll & Hyde 4 - Power & Conflict Poetry 5 - Love & Relationships Poetry Please check out my other resources.

This mark book is based on the new specification AQA GCSE English Language (8700) qualification with grade boundaries from the 2023 exam series. In it, I have broken the qualification down so that there is a column for each question for you to input the marks to. The mark book will then automatically generate a fine grade for each section of the paper and a separate grade for each paper overall. The mark book will then generate an overall total and fine grade for the qualification as a whole (paper one and paper two). In case you are unfamiliar with the term, a fine grade splits each grade (9-1) into three: 5a - The top end of a grade 5, almost working at a grade 6 5b - A secure grade 5 5c - The bottom end of a grade 5, almost slipping the grade 4 boundaries The grade boundaries were calculated based on the August 2023 results from the 2023 GCSE exam series. I have also included a row that works out the class average which is useful for comparing sets within the department, or for working out which question/section needs more work, or just to give the students a reference point for how well they did. This can be used as an individual mark book or for the whole department, simply copy the ‘English Language Mark Book’ tab to replicate the mark book and all of its formulas for each class in the cohort. You can find a copy of my English Literature mark book here: goo.gl/N5cKC1 Please also take a look at my other resources. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

This well-presented pack focuses on AQA GCSE English Language Paper 1, Questions 1-5 (8700). There are four one-hour lessons covering each area of the exam paper, helping students feel more prepared for the exam. The lessons were planned to teach the exam skills thoroughly, though they could be used for revision lessons. Each lesson requires minimal preparation and is designed with pupil engagement in mind. With over sixty slides, this PowerPoint has a series of easy to follow activities with clear instructions and a variety of tasks. It focuses on assessment objectives and timings, aiming to give pupils a clear understanding of the exam and what is expected of them. The aim is to provide students with the skills and confidence needed to sit and conquer this exam paper on their own. Included are: independent, pair & group work tasks, opportunities for self and peer assessment, extension tasks, writing frames, homework tasks and, in the event of emergencies, a cover lesson work sheet (though, hopefully it won’t be needed). There is also a model answer for each question to help students engage with the mark scheme. Personally, I have found that, when using this series of papers and PowerPoints, students have grown in both confidence and ability on their way to achieving their target grades, commenting on the challenge that the lessons provide them with.

This pack focuses on revising the AQA GCSE English Literature Paper 1, Section B: 19th Century novel - The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde. A Word document is included with twelve exam-style questions that can be given to students: as extra revision, as practice papers, during lessons, for intervention, or as homework. There are a range of character and theme questions and I have made sure that there is at least one from each chapter of the novel. These assessment questions can be used with KS4 for exam preparation or as practice exercises for KS3. All tasks are written according to the new GCSE numbering system and are designed for the New Specification AQA English Literature: Paper One (exams from 2017 onward). I have tried to pick questions that aren’t so obvious, in order to test my students’ knowledge and understanding of the text more thoroughly. The twelve exam-style questions focus on: • Reputation of Victorian gentlemen • How setting reflects character • The relationship between characters • Life in Victorian London • Lies • Fear • Secrecy • Loyalty • Sympathy • Good vs. evil • Drama & Tension • Conflicting views on science There is also a sixteen-slide revision PowerPoint that focuses on exploring the second bullet point in a question about Hyde’s brutality. There are a range of activities, tips, writing frames, a homework task, extension tasks and a model answer on the PowerPoint to help your students in their learning of, or revision of, the text.

A lot of my students say that they have no idea how to revise for English. In these handouts, I have listed a couple of ways of revising for English Language and (separately) for English Literature.

I’ve also included the ISBN numbers for some on the popular revision guides. Please check out my other resources. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
