This is a unit of work aimed at the CIE English as a First Language GCSE spec. It could be adapted for other specifications, especially for creative writing. Simply remove the CIE question and insert your own prompt, using my stimulus text too if you choose. This unit took me around five weeks to teach.

Differentiated for ESL/EAL learners with key vocabulary, word of the day and prereading homeworks. It covers letter writing, interview writing and diary writing for question 1. Mock CIE style assessments are also included to support this, along with annotated inserts. It also has a lesson for writing a dystopian story for the coursework unit. The scheme also covers using language devices in creative writing and analysis of film, looking at the opening scenes of The Hunger Games film. Included are: one full unit plan, seven ppts, two homework tasks, three mock Q1s based on the novel, and an example planning sheet.

A PowerPoint guiding students through the historical context of The Great Gatsby. Includes videos, images, songs, quotes from the Great Gatsby and discussion point.

This resource contains a Powerpoint and a running race worksheet with teacher answers. You will first explain some common strategies for working out the meaning of new vocabulary with examples. Students will then have a group running race in which they apply the strategies they have learnt to new words. They will have to come to you for each question with a correct answer before being allowed to access the next question. The first team to complete the quiz wins. This is a tried and tested lesson which my students love. Engaging, fun and practical. Suitable for KS3 or KS4 English for any exam board. Especially suitable for CIE First Language English 0500 in which students will have to define new words.

This lesson reviews the English names for common punctuation marks, how they are used and ends with students writing a short descriptive paragraph using these different punctuation marks.
