Here are 2 support sheets for writing a comparison essay between London and Checking Out Me History. Used with bottom set year 10. The Hap sheet is designed to walk students through how to write a sophisticated essay - using advice given in my AQA examiner training. The LAP sheet is similar, but has a writing frame for more support. It covers the theme of anger - so a comparison of how both poets explore restriction; response to anger in both; one paragraph on structure.

A lesson analysing aspects of chapter 3, and how foreshadowing is used. Starts of with chapter 3 recall, before looking at model of lang analysis to build as a class. Students then work in pairs, and then individually, to analyse scaffolded quotes. Final part of lesson is looking at a model answer and checklist, before writing their own paragraph using lesson resources and checklist. Potentially need 1 and a half lessons for this.

Leading on from lesson 2, where students explored Old Major and Karl Marx, this lesson begins analysis skills. In this lesson, I also taught the y into -ies rule where I spoke to one student specifically about it and explained a few times throughout the lesson, and then I asked that student to teach the whole class. Worked very well.

A lesson exploring the presentation of Macbeth. I try to drip feed them the context so that they know where to link. I also introduce them to new vocab each lesson too - and recap the next. With this lesson, I annotated my own copy of the text. I looked at how he is presented as an "eagle" and "lion" - like an apex predator- unbeatable. Also, "cannons overcharged" - like a lethal weapon, ruthlessly attacking. I also explored idea of a tragic flaw - character has to appear noble so that the downfall is even more shocking. Challenge part of the lesson - how does Shakespeare perhaps subtly suggest that Macbeth has ability to be evil? "bathe in reeking wounds" and "Golgotha" quotes - suggest that he actually enjoys death, and takes pleasure in it. Killing the traitor was not just a task, but something he enjoyed - sadistic? Those were the notes I used for the lesson.

Lesson plan notes. Start off lesson recapping previous one where we had looked at scene 4 and learnt what dramatic irony was. Use of images to recap and check understanding. (answer notes beneath slide) Information sheet on women in Jacobean England - read and consider references to where LM is different (knowledge from having watched film). Read scene with context activity. Students put in differentiated groups - with one HAP in each group to support - to look at quotes. Group one have easiest quotes - HAP to help develop. Groups 3 and 4 - same quotes but opposite way round - this means if they only get one done, the other group have analysed the other in detail. LSA works with group 2, teacher to work with group 1 and circulate with 3 and 4 from time to time to check progress and understanding. Students to present their quotes - other groups to make notes around their text.
