The resource uses images to initiate student thinking about the whole text. It is divided into the staves. Students can recall and tell the story through the stimulus images. They can associate the images with key quotes and/or themes. I hope it helps!

As we know all of Shakespeares plays have essential elements like prophecies, angry families, allies, mistaken identities, thinking aloud to name a few. Here is a simple resource that students can use for any of his plays to revise. They insert the appropriate characters and/or events against the right ‘essential’. Students can fill in with examples from whatever play they are studying. Can fit from All’s Well that Ends Well to Winter’s Tale.

Match the characters to quotes to themes. Adapted for recall, then understanding, then thoughtful. I hope it helps!

3 slides to let students explore context around the symbolism of the number three (3) in Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

I have designed this resource to be used for any text. This applies to English Literature and Language. Insert your own Big Question that you would like to be answered: I recommend a GCSE-style question as this resource is encouraging critical thinking. It has been differentiated across abilities (high, middle, lower). It also has a blank grid (bonus!) for you to insert your own ideas. I’m also for saving paper so there’s two grids to one sheet. It can be used per group, as pairs or individual working as you see fit. With this Socratic questioning, of course, my aims are to: Creative an active classroom - encouraging students to participate Ignite students’ independent thinking Challenges misconceptions Deepen understanding Develop curiosity Encourage analysis

This resource is for the AQA Power and Conflict poetry anthology. I recommend its use as a revision resource. You can set students to work across columns as you see fit over the course of a series of lessons. However, it would be better for students to travel across rows of the activities to show progress. Students should aim to do an activity of each colour. This will show they have engaged with each stage of the learning. Therefore, it is self-differentiating according to how you set the activities. Please use as a launching pad for your own ideas as colours can be removed, etc.
