Capitalism and Socialism worksheets of 'An Inspector Calls'

(0)
These two work sheets go with the information on Capitalism and Socialism I have uploaded to my free resources as the information is taken from the internet. What I got my students to do was to go through the texts and highlight the information that links to what happens in the play. I then got them to make links on the worksheets attached for each one using quotes to link the play and context more closely.

Coraline and her two mothers

(0)
This lesson prepares students to analyse quotations comparing Coraine's two mothers from the book Coraline by Neil Gaiman. The analysis is done through the analogy of a house, as you look at the outside and explain the ideas generally, and then when you look in more detail inside the house you gain a further understanding of the language used by Neil Gaiman. There is a booklet resource that fits with the lesson to help students follow this ideas, as well as top tips.

A Christmas Carol - Context and Theme Work Sheet

(0)
The Context and Theme Linking Sheet is here. A Christmas Carol Part B of the GCSE paper is all about linking themes to the context to the quotations and ideas in the novella. So here is a sheet that gets the students to think about that and put it all on one revision sheet. How to use it... All you need to do is get the students to use the context notes (writing context notes is a separate lesson I did before this one) to write down shortened notes using subtitles such as Poor and Rich, Education, etc. Then use highlighters to link them to the themes in the middle boxes. Then the students must look through the book and find key moments and relevant quotations that would link to the theme and context they have selected. Done properly this is a really useful worksheet.

An Inspector Calls - The Inspector - exploring

Fab resource to complete the set after the responsibility slides I have available on here. To top it off we must explore THE INSPECTOR!!! Here is a one off lesson to question The Inspector and how he feels about the death of Eva Smith using three of his quotes. There is a quotation breakdown of questions around a quotation with clues to get the students thinking. This also comes with a slide of sentence starters if they are struggling with answering these questions and then of course I have provided the answers. This breakdown is based on the guidance I received from the AQA board when on a course - it really gets the students to think about the quotation and the whole text (LINKING IDEAS). Enjoy! (Please note some questions are based on course ideas given by AQA - answers and scaffolds and sentence starters and overall design is what is being sold in this resource)

This is like a mini project as you will probably need three lessons to complete the task and students presentation. This lesson starts by asking the students questions that they have to think about when watching the news clips about refugees (internet access needed) The next slide tells the students what their task is and shows them other charities that are available to refugees at the moment. The final slide gives students a success criteria which they need to follow. This lesson aims to show students what being a refugee is a like and how we as a country could help.

AFOREST Techniques - Adverts and Leaflets

(1)
Here is an AFOREST lesson that gets students to pick out the persuasive techniques they can see in an advert. It then goes onto analysing leaflets; for this I usually go and grab a handful of leaflets from the Tourist Information or a service station. Then you can use the middle part of the lesson and the work sheets to get students to identify and explain persuasive techniques used. This is a great lesson if your students are creating a leaflet or brochure for their assessment. It has always worked really well with Y7 and 8s.

It also goes through the exam requirements for Edexcel. It also has video links to BBC Bitesize revision videos that help students to fill in the Themes and Context sheet attached. (Internet needed for the links) This helped my students get down the basics and start making links to the themes that run throughout the play.

This is a great lesson on the contextual and cultural links to the book Refugee Boy. It has a great little booklet that goes with the presentation that the students can work on throughout. It also includes selected pieces of information that can be stuck around the class for the students to pick the contexts that links and put it on the outlined hand. It worked really well with my Y8 class as it got them up and about finding out the relevant information and then moving onto using language techniques from Alem's point of view from the book.
