FOR THE LOVE OF LITERATURE

Average Rating4.39
(based on 969 reviews)

I love creating resources and spend far too much time doing it. Currently teaching mostly A-level English Literature, but there are a range of free and paid resources for all ages. I believe in challenging students with a range of ambitious material, but also believe that this needs to be underpinned by explicit direction on HOW students can develop their ideas in written form. Write better... think better... think better...write better... and so on.

The God of Small Things - full SOW and lesson by lesson resources

Arundhati Roy's 'The God of Small Things' is a wonderful A-Level novel - I taught as comparative coursework with Jez Butterworth's 'Jerusalem' (scheme of work to follow shortly) but this would work just as well as stand-alone for any aspect of the A-Level spec/course. It includes: - A full scheme of work - PowerPoints and activities lesson by lesson to take you through whole novel - Teacher notes, including really useful critical references I highly recommend purchasing the following for your reference/ school library: Routledge Guides to Literature: The God of Small Things, edited by Alex Tickell Continuum Contemporaries Series: The God of Small Things, edited by Julie Mullaney. All page references refer to Flamingo edition, 1997.

A full scheme of work for Tennessee Williams' 'A Streetcar Named Desire'... Packed full of activities, critical material, challenging activities and a few essay titles. I taught this for OCR comparative coursework alongside 'A Bell Jar' but, this will fit to any A-level spec. Scheme of work also attached so you can get an idea of whole picture and edit as required... Page references refer to Penguin Modern Classics edition.

The Bloody Chamber SOW, resources and links to the Gothic

The Bloody Chamber SOW, resources and links to the Gothic

A plethora of resources for teaching Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber... powerpoints, resources and tasks. Taught for OCR A-level English Literature as part of Gothic comparative and contextual study (to be taught alongside Frankenstein) but would work equally well as stand-alone for other components or as a coursework text. You also have here some extract question activities on presentation of 'the other' in Gothic literature and some teaching material and activities on Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', focusing particularly on narrative form and perspective. NB Puss in boots not there - we just read and discussed as it doesn't fit as part of our unit so we covered it unofficially) and the final three worksheets are designed by students - I got them to prep their own in the style of mine.... they did pretty well but if you are not going to adopt the same approach, I would check them before using as may need some editing. We then used them as teaching resources in a sequence of university seminar style sessions.

A full A-level scheme of work for The Duchess of Malfi - taught for OCR A-level English Literature. Comprehensive, detailed and challenging… hours of planning done for you, so you can just enjoy teaching this wonderful text. Powerpoints and accompanying hand-outs with questions, activities and some teacher notes on Acts 1 and 2. Also includes some exemplar essays on women, rank and social status and Bosola; some revision quizzes. Edition used for study New Mermaids, 5th edition, ed Brian Gibbons All material clearly labelled… good to go in and teach as is, but easy enough to adapt/add in activities depending on what you are teaching the text for. OCR delivery guide also worth a look for additional activities http://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/183439-the-duchess-of-malfi-delivery-guide.pdf
