A complete Scheme of Work (15 lessons) to teach A Streetcar Named Desire, aimed towards the English Language and Literature spec. This SoW will teach the entirety of the play, looking at characters, themes, and context, and analysing linguistic and dramatic features, such as spoken language features, word/sentence types, and conventions of a tragedy. PLEASE NOTE: I already sell a scheme of work to teach Streetcar for the Literature spec; these two schemes are very similar, except for the Lang-Lit one having a much more linguistic focus!

A full scheme of work for teaching Tennessee William’s A Streetcar Named Desire at English Literature. Includes two context lessons, two lessons on Scenes 1 and 3 and then one lesson per scene for the rest. Activities include quote finding, extract analysis, discussion tasks, group work, and evaluative plenaries. The lessons invite students to analyse the text as a play rather than just a written text by linking to the conventions of a tragedy, dramatic techniques, and stagecraft. Check out my other Streetcar resources: revision lessons, blocking characters, and a bundle of the whole lot!
