This contains 3 lessons for The Laboratory with integrated context, analysis and tasks for students to complete when teaching The Laboratory. I have also included a copy of the annotated poem to assist the teaching of this poem. The three lessons will last 3 hours and when annotating the poem, this should be done under a visualiser. The tasks for students could be set as independent study time or homework, and will assist the further learning of the course.

This is 6 lessons worth of a cover booklet focusing on Key Stage 4 AQA English Language Paper 2 and Poetry Tasks. This was set for a low ability group so there may be more than 5 lessons attached.

This is a word document including some of the events in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. The class need to decide whether the events from the chapters (Chapters 5-8) are either Christie’s clues or misdirections given to confuse the readers.

This lesson has been used to go over War Photographer and Storm on the Island - both poems have been pre-read and looked at, but not in lots of detail. The lesson is to a mid to low ability Year 10 group. The lesson takes students through vocabulary tacking and understanding, and also what’s happening in Storm on the Island through a storyboard activity, before then leading to planning how conflict is presented in War Photographer and Storm on the Island. I hope it’s helpful!

Here we have two lessons in one powerpoint exploring the narrative plot and framing devices that Christie uses. There are slides with tasks on and other slides for students to take notes from. I have also included a document which is like a transcript for the lesson going through the information minus the tasks. The lesson should take two lessons and it is the students considering Christie’s authorial methods whilst also understanding the ending. It is the assumption that students have already read the whole novel. It is going over set-piece ending, framing devices and back to focalisation. Hopefully this will help when teaching.

Adapted Kamikaze poem for my low ability sets. Quote sheets and questions in the PPT - those slides will need to be printed off.

Attached is a PowerPoint lesson that could stretch over 3 hours depending on the ability of your group. It goes over the first ideas of the poem, has an author study sheet, includes a terminology recap, questions for zoomed in parts of the poem and then a discussion about how it compares with other poems. It took one of my lower ability groups just shy of 3 lessons and that includes a live modelled annotated poem from me. They did enjoy it and said it helped them break it down.

This is the FOURTH booklet in my Literacy series! It has been designed for low ability KS4, KS3 (or maybe KS2) students to recap certain skills to cement their knowledge.

It does mention Literacy Booklet 1, Literacy Booklet 2 AND Literacy Booklet 3 (available from my store). There are a range of activities in this booklets like: finding the nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in the sentences and describe the images, sorting these 4 techniques into boxes (like the noun task but on a bigger scale), finding verbs within a text and then saying the effect of them, the use of adverbs and considering the effect of them, recap of similes by finding them in a longer text and then further work on metaphors - two pages - and explaining which parts of the text are actual metaphors and then identifying what bits are being compared…and FINALLY (as before) a self assessment at the end.

This booklet has been created to be used alongside a PowerPoint (which can be made from this booklet) or on its own. It contains a lot of information for Key Stage 5 or college students on what to do and expect when preparing to live independently. Sections include: Before you leave When looking at halls of residence or renting Cleaning and Hygiene matters Saving on Utilities Medical Matters Duvet Togs Explained Finances: basic information about which ID to need, a student account, ISA and savings account Planning Meals Laundry Labels Top student accounts 2023/2024 ready for research The sections include personal help and experiences alongside hints and tips of what to do to prepare and begin living away from home. It was made to be used for a Key Stage 5 Enrichment programme once a fortnight and the feedback has been that it has proved very useful alongside a lesson and research with students being able to ask questions.

These two PPTs go through how to teach top set students (to be delivered in a hall of set 1s and set 2s) how to adapt their writing ensuring they are focusing on expanding their ideas. Not only does this allow students to explore ideas linking them together, but it also gives them an introduction and first paragraph. It should be noted that these will not be able to be replicated perfectly in the exam, but they should aim high to be able to recreate what they need to in order to gain the top marks.
