Powerpoint and resources for KS3 poetry unit, introducing language forms and features

Apologies for having to break this into two parts, TES has size limits. I designed this SOW (all power-points and worksheets included) for the GCSE study of Mice & Men (Lit paper). Power-points work through the text scene by scene and investigate language, build analysis skills and connections made between text and context. In Pt2, essay writing skills and a summative assessment are included.

This power-point is designed to be taught over a term/two terms for the GCSE topic in the literature paper. Find included all resources on themes, context, investigation of language and stagecraft and everything else you need for teaching this play. A01-3 are covered in complex detail, and there are about 25-30 lessons of content included altogether. I designed this resource for my higher ability year 10 class, who have just started their GCSE course.

Find included a scheme of work with all activities, power-points and resources for teaching a broad introduction to Shakespeare, geared at KS3. Part one includes a "Why Study Shakespeare?" lesson, plus four other lessons on context, the Globe and genres. Part two includes three lessons on the Comedies (Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night and Taming of the Shrew). Part three comprises the histories (Richard III, Henry V and Julius Ceasar) and also the tragedies (Romeo & Juliet and Antony & Cleopatra) . Key skills: plot and character overviews, introductions into Shakespeare's language (looking at extracts) plus creative activities.

Lessons start with Q2-5, and I've also included a whole practise paper which can be done over the course of two lessons as a "walking, talking mock" (power-point included). Enjoy!
