'Little Women' scheme of work

26 fully planned lessons, this scheme of work should hopefully have you dusting off an old classic that is often left behind in the department cupboards! With a range of activities that intend to bring the text alive, each lesson in this scheme has a covering slide detailing the lesson outline, skills focused on, and whether any resources are required or homework set. All accompanying resources and internet links are included within this resource.

Lesson focuses include hot-seating key characters, a dramatic interpretation of Channel 4’s ‘First Dates’, personal writing on hopes and ambitions, and persuasive writing. There are plenty of opportunities to grade students on their reading and writing skills, with emphasis on the skills required for tasks.

This scheme would suit any Key Stage 3 class as every lesson is planned to allow total teacher flexibility. With hidden chapter summary slides, the teacher is able to choose how much reading is completed each lesson and even how many of the 26 lessons are taught for this scheme. As such, if lessons or chapters are missed out, there is always a chapter summary to fill in the gaps.

I appreciate all constructive criticism, so I hope you are able to take time to review this scheme.
