This resource offers a creative lesson for students studying English Language on papers that require students to ‘find’ information. This lesson is centred around earning Exit Passes (lolly sticks) and a Blind Style learning Activity to ensure that the most able are able to construct mark schemes and all students work in a supported environment. This lesson offers an imaginative route into a question that can otherwise be a little dry: it also works towards ALL students achieving full marks on this question and offers a range of 10 texts on which to practise this skill, including answers to all questions.

This resource offers a step by step guide to this poem and covers all the detail required by the new GCSE 9-1 specifications. There are slides on context, form, language and structure, interspersed with activities to ensure students enjoy this lesson. This lesson also includes SMSC links which are overtly indicated and an exam style question as a plenary.

This powerpoint takes you through a step by step analysis of each stanza, the background to the title and a potential comparison with My Last Duchess through a wide range of oral, active, written and thought provoking ideas, questions and images. This is everything you would need to teach this poem. Other poems in this collection are also available in my TES shop as is a bundle including all poems in the collection at a discounted rate.

This resource takes a step by step approach to considering language, form and structure in this text through engaging activities, music, video clips, group and individual tasks alongside supported and extension activities.

If you only buy one lesson in this series, this would be a useful one to begin to tie together the use of structure, narrative, themes and characters. This lesson is differentiated (Group 3 is definitely harder than any of the other group tasks) and facilitates students' engagement with the real purpose of this chapter through paired and group question led activities.

This final lesson in this collection of resources asks students to consider the cyclical nature of some of the narrative strands, whilst also acknowledging the chronological order of Silas and Eppie's life together that breaks free from this structure. This lesson revisits the question of predetermined fate examined in earlier lessons and links back to the context against which this novel was written. This resource is available as a single unit, as part of an entire text bundle or as part of a bespoke bundle on request via Twitter @jomarsh1. If you like this resource please do follow me, as further revision resources are in the production process.

This resource covers these three interlinked chapters and challenges students to engage with characterisation, links to the motif of sacrifice, characterisation, extract analysis (and exemplar answers), peer assessment and the crafting of the two narrative strands that are linked across these chapters. This is a key resource on this text and will cover at least 4 hours of teaching, if not a little more. It is available as a single resource, as part of a bundle, or as part of a bespoke bundle.

This resource is fully differentiated, includes assessment with a DIRT task, close textual analysis modelled using PETAL and then supported with prompt questions, a fun wordsearch and some high order thinking tasks.

This resource offers an engaging route through this final part of the novel. It teaches the application of Freytag’s narrative arc, how to analyse characters and themes, literary devices and hot seating to name but a few of the teaching approaches. This resource has been designed using a New Zealand mark scheme which is easily edited out to include your own. This resource includes two assessment tasks that are supported in different measures. Lessons and tasks are differentiated and challenge is suitably tough.

These resources offer a complete study of the poem through encouraging both student engagement and independence in different measures. This lesson, uses Jigsaw Activities and a highly effective Challenge Task, peer assessment, discussion points and sharing learning strategies. This lesson would work well if you are teaching both the Cambridge IGCSE specification or as an Unseen Poem from KS3 on. This collection of resources includes a thorough assessment and evidence of progression proforma, as such this would make an excellent observation lesson on poetry. This lesson closes with recommendations for a homework task and a further poem for study as an Unseen Poem.

This resource includes 4 varied tasks to appeal to a full range and ability of learners on the topic of word classes and nouns. The resource concludes with a self assessment of how secure the learner’s knowledge is based on a final task. A separate resource is included for all teachers/supply/parents to use to help guide their students in the right direction with regard to answers and to offer a definitive right/wrong once complete. This is a perfect activity for completion during tutor time or at the beginning/end/challenge task for downtime as it can be picked up and put away. This is the first of a series of literacy resources like this that I will be rolling out over the next few weeks, so if you like this, do follow me here or on Twitter @jomarsh1.

This would be perfect for parents, students and supply teachers alike and would take at least one lesson to complete.
