I've found another use for all that knowledge we have about the old AQA English Lit anthology (The Sunlight on The Grass anthology). I have started to turn them into English Language Paper 1 Section A Mock Exams! This is one of them. There is no mark scheme, but if you use the Paper 1 mark scheme from the AQA website you should be fine. This one uses the start of On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning. I've taken one paragraph out but don't worry, it doesn't take away from the creepiness of the narrative voice.

There is no mark scheme, but if you use the Paper 1 mark scheme from the AQA website you should be fine. This one uses sections from Compass and Torch - I've stitched together two sections and omitted the bit about the horses (for those who remember) so that the extract focuses only on the relationship between the boy and the man.

There is no mark scheme, but if you use the Paper 1 mark scheme from the AQA website you should be fine. This one uses a section from When The Wasps Drowned - it's not the start bit, but if you think about it, it doesn't really need to be.

A reintroduction lesson that should be taught with the understanding that the students have read the text beforehand. Designed as an entry point into year 13; ideal for new teachers looking to get the measure of a new class (as in my case). I found this lesson particularly useful when combined with FAR marking the material surrounding the quotations. You should view this as a starting point - future lessons will get much more specific.

Series of power points designed to help students to write their own Gothic Short Story.

A resource with simple worksheet that encourages students to read the short story 'Your Shoes' by Michele Roberts. It also builds in the Point, Evidence and Explain way of thinking. This is written as a Homework activity for higher ability sets or as a lesson for weak GCSE classes.

The first lesson of a SoW I have recently created to teach Lord of the Flies to Year 7. This is the first part; I refer you to the 'Following this Scheme' guide for instructions as to what to do next. Please leave feedback if you find this Scheme useful or have any suggestions to make. Look for the remaining stages on here too...

A set of worksheets including comprehension questions and synopsis summaries of a play, prose and a poem. Each sheet has comprehension questions that lead the A level students towards understanding. Still trying to get my head around this course so feedback would be appreciated as to how useful these resources are.

Here you will find the reading lessons for my Lord of the Flies SoW for the mid to higher ability (Learning outcomes measured against Levels 4 - 6). IMPORTANT: Lessons 6 and 7 use sound-clips which I couldn't upload - you will have to find suitable sound effects yourself. Please feel free to add feedback and any suggestions.

The third and final stage of my Lord of the Flies SoW. I am still adding in alternative lessons to this so expect some changes. The writing assessment focuses on a letter-in-a-bottle activity. As you can see, there is heavy emphasis on punctuation. Feedback welcome. The handwriting lesson is based upon a workbook i found on TES - I take no credit for it!

The first part of a poetic investigation using all those old copies of the AQA anthology from yesteryear. The assessment is designed to focuse on RAF2,3,5 and 7. Each poem is split into two lessons; the first focusing on the cultural aspects and the second on the language. ALL of these power points are rendered in pink to allow Dyslexic students to read them without the text glaring. Second part to follow....

Shows lessons building up to a reading assessment looking at RAF 2,3,4 and 5. These lessons are targeted at a top set Year 8 class with levels ranging from 5 - 7.

I take no credit for the creation of these (probably by now ) universal acronyms. However, with a lot of my classes i find providing them with this sheet a good starting point. Use PEE sheets for lower ability students in KS3 and 4. Use PETER sheets for higher ability students in KS3 and 4.

A series of lessons exploring a variety of different writing styles (using David Lodge's 'The Art of Fiction' as inspiration) then targetting L5,6 and 7 for EACH of the Writing Assessment Focuses. You will need a copy of the OLD AQA Anthology (The one with Limbo on the first page). Dracula, Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire, Catcher in the Rye and a copy of 'The Mysteries of Harris Burdick' Portfolio (Images can be downloaded, but it costs about £13 from ebay). TOP SET Yr 8 lessons.

I shall add to this as i create my power points. They will all follow the AQA Working with the Anthology Achieve a C textbook. Hope they prove useful to some.

Using the PEE format I've made user friendly sheets specifically relating to Spoken Language to help students plan and structure their responses. These are useful if the students are familiar with the terminology first.

OK - the power point (Lesson 6) is actually a FOUR hour revision session. The two other worksheets are the articles and worksheets required to complete the lesson. You'd also need mini-white boards, whiteboard pens and post-it notes to run this lesson right off. Hope this will prove useful.

A series of lessons designed to teach Year 10-11 students about Shakespeare and how he presents feelings. This unit is pointed at a controlled assessment question that focuses on how Shakespeare and the conflict poetry POETS present ideas about feelings - poetry lessons to follow.
