I teach a rowdy but bright year 7 boys class once a week (the classes are split on our timetable between teachers, annoyingly). I decided to do a creative writing module with them, focusing on dystopian literature. Included in this pack are 10 (or more, depending on pace) lessons that: Introduce dystopian fiction and its conventions Analyse extracts from famous dystopias Build creative writing skills Build planning, structuring, drafting and editing skills Activities are varied, with some introductory links to Language Paper 1 skills for the GCSE. Enjoy :)

A series of 8 lessons looking at the Unseen Poetry section of the GCSE Paper 2. Both the 24 mark question and the 8 mark comparison question are covered.

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 Macbeth (Lit paper). Power-points work through the text scene by scene and investigate language, build analysis skills and connections made between text and context. Included in part two: Iambic Pentameter (always hard to teach!)

I created these resources for my GCSE English class. I've split the resources into the 5 acts, with power-points and activities included for each scene. The focus is language, forms and features, stagecraft, Shakespeare's context (basically everything from A01-A03!) Enjoy

Introducing my 12 week Crime & Punishment unit! Introduce your students to the two GCSE language papers through this fun unit, focusing on the crime and detective genre. This program of study explores the history of the detective genre, conventions, characterisation, archetypes, language, genre, textual form, and structure. Students will build their critical and creative writing skills through a close study of several key 19th century and modern crime texts, such as “The Speckled Band” and “Perfume: Story of a Murderer.” They will experiment with crafting crime stories of their own. The unit is split between fiction and non-fiction, so as to cover the skills required for the GCSE Language Papers 1 and 2, questions 1, 2, 3 and 5. Included: All power-points and lesson resources Worksheets and homework A social justice project focusing on the inquiry question: when is the law unjust? You can choose to therefore draw connections between the Crime & Punishment unit and real-world application.
