Created as a cover activity for a mixed-ability year 7 class as part of a unit on origin stories, myths and legends, this uses a public domain text about Zeus unleashing the great flood on humanity (pairs well with the story of Noah’s Ark). There are ten questions focused on retrieval, inference and some basic analysis. Could be used as a cover activity, set for homework or the questions could be used to structure a guided reading session. Suggested answers are provided.

This powerpoint was planned for a mixed-ability year 7 class as part of a unit of work on “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”.

KS4 Unseen Poetry "On Eastnor Knoll" John Masefield

(0)
On this powerpoint, slides 3 and 4 are the same for ease of printing off (2 slides per page) so that students have a copy of the poem to annotate and a copy of the question that they will be tackling once they have worked through the tasks and questions. The exam style question is: How does the poet express the speaker’s thoughts and feelings about the landscape? Prior to attempting the question, students are invited to consider the use of: semantic field, sibilance, enjambment, pace and structure. Planned for a year 11 class as a revision/practice activity. Would also suit a capable KS3 group.

A simple and straightforward powerpoint, animated as it was used in a revision session. The powerpoint has a recap slide with suggested answers. (These may not match your students, in which case they’ll need editing). There are 4 suggested tasks. 3 are very straightforward; the final one is more challenging and closer to the task that students will encounter in the exam. The weather task asks students what is wrong with the sample paragraph. The answer is that it doesn’t express a clear viewpoint.

This is a straightforward powerpoint intended for revision which reminds students of five of Delaney’s key methods in the play.

Each of the methods has a few questions to encourage recall and then suggested answers and ideas are provided on the next slide.

This is a very simple and straightforward powerpoint using John Clare’s poem “Hares at Play” and created as a revision activity for year 11 in the run up to their English Literature GCSE exam to support them in practising reading and responding to an unseen poem. This could be used as a homework task or revision activity. Alternatively, the questions could be used in class to structure a model answer. There are prompt questions on structure and form and on language. On the following slides are suggested answers to these prompt questions - these are easy to remove if you wish to use the ppt for homework. The question uses similar wording to AQA English Literature Paper 2 and asks: **How does the poet present the speaker’s ideas about hares? **

This is a simple and straightforward powerpoint designed to polish the reading skills necessary for English Language Paper 1. The ppt was planned for a less able class (targets 3) so there is scope to edit the powerpoint if you would like a closer focus on question 2 (language) or question 3 (structure) or if you would like to add an evaluation question. The final slide is a suggested writing activity to harness the ideas that will hopefully have come from the reading.

This multiple choice quiz has 14 questions (answers provided) and can be used for flipped learning, identifying gaps in students’ knowledge and understanding so that subsequent teaching can be more precisely focused. Alternatively, it can be set as homework or used for cover. I have used it to structure a guided reading/revision session as some of the questions lend themselves to further discussion about the effect of the writer’s methods. The extract is a good one for students to practise their ability to understand a writer’s viewpoint.
