This is a scheme of work that I have revisited and updated for 2012, to include all APP frameworks, persuasive techniques and analysis of the Death Penalty. The scheme looks at murderers and results in a question about whether or not we should bring back the death penalty. Pupils end by writing a di More…scursive essay, as if they are under controlled assessment conditions, as I am trying to prepare year 9 for their GCSE years. If you want every lesson, type in '2012 Death Penalty Lesson Miss R' and they should come up in a list. This one covers analysis of the effects of writer's choices.

This is one of several lessons that I have uploaded from this year 9 scheme. The premise of our year 9 curriculum is that we start to get pupils used to the GCSE controlled assessment model by teaching them the skills that they need to pass Lang and Lit. This scheme covers Media and Non Fiction and More… More… this lesson can be taught alone or with the others. This lesson covers the use of presentational devices.

This is one of serveral lessons that i have uploaded from this year 9 scheme. The premise of our year 9 curriculum is that we start to get pupils used to the GCSE controlled assessment model by teaching them the skills that they need to pass Lang and Lit. This scheme covers Media and Non Fiction this lesson can be taught alone or with the others. In this lesson, the pupils have a go at writing their APP assessment.

This is one lesson that I have taken from a whole scheme of lessons. Each poem can be used as an individual lesson, or, if you would like to teach all of the lessons, search for ' Poetry Scheme - 3 Poems - Lesson Miss R' and they should all come up for you to work with. At the end of the unit, there is a reading and writing assessment that involves analysis and creativity too. This lesson covers 'stealing' by Duffy.

Family Poetry Full Lesson PP - Lesson 3 This is 1 of 8 lessons that create a full unit of work on poems that are about family. All 8 lessons ahve been uploaded for use.

Writing To Argue / Reading Texts Lesson This is one of 5 lessons that all follow on from each other about writing to argue. The lessons go through arguments and counter arguments and you can use them for analysis and teaching the required techniques. i use it for transition for year 8 into 9.

I can't take full credit for this - as I have used Mike Dean&'s template and added my own questions - However, it still took an hour, so I hope it can be used by others.

It's National Immunisation day on the 10th of November. So, here, I&'ve put together some information on Jenner and then added a whole class quiz for the whole form to take part in. I&';m going to start doing these for form time on all special days so look out for them.

This quiz links to all of the Christmas Maths songs that Moyles has commissioned from artists like One Direction, N Dubz etc. Click on each picture to hyperlink to the song - pupils try to work out the answer to the sum and all of the sums and answers are on the last two slides. Great for a bit of making maths cool and mathematical fun at the end of term.

This is one of a series of worksheets that is used over each lesson to help pupils to write a response to a question about the play 'Our Day Out'. Each lesson is split by each paragraph of the essay and their is a guide for each paragraph. All resources ahve been uplaoded with the same title for ease of finding if you want to combine them, rather than use as standalone.

This is great as a whole class activity where pupils write their responses on whiteboards.

These are a series of games / revision aids and exercises that can be used to help support KS3 pupils with Grammar basics.

These are lessons that recap all prior teaching about magazines and set up the assessment for Unit 1 of the GCSE specification for AQA. All are tied into the AQA mark schemes with examples, resources etc. all embedded.

This is a full scheme of work that consists of all lessons power points and resources - similar to the one that I've added for Richard III (if you want something less conventional). It&'s for the controlled assessment that compares a Shakespeare play with his Sonnets. The focus of the question is strong feelings of love.

These are a series of tasks that I used to recreate a work scenario for pupils by giving them the memos and asking them to create a product. The other resources help them to market their product.

Luckily, we will never be in the position again where I have to teach 2 specifications at the same time to the same class. However, this is the scheme that I created last year when this was the approach adopted by the Head. Although these lessons are aimed at both specs, the full scheme is more IGCSE skills and texts than the AQA. My AQA scheme will be uploaded as a separate entity. 2 of these texts, I've uploaded before but the whole scheme makes sense when uploaded together. Remaining lessons are uploaded separately.

This is another of my schemes that is taught to year 9 in order to prepare them for spoken language study in years 10 and 11. This one uses clips from Educating Essex and teaches pupils key terms and then how to apply them - refers to the AQA mark scheme. All lessons and resources are here.

These are the first lessons of a scheme of work that covers all areas of the AQA GCSE exam for English. Taught to pupils with low Ds who were trying to get to C, this breaks down all of the questions and teaches pupils how they should tackle them. There are more lessons saved with the same stem but lessons 1-15

This is a mini scheme of work that gets pupils to engage with the stories of Roger Hurn and then to write to him. Roger is a contributor to the TES and was excellent at reading and responding to the letters from these level 3 pupils with SEN. They absolutely loved the letter that they received back as he addressed them all by name and it is still up in their classroom. This is a fab scheme for primary age / ability pupils.
