A dot to dot activity for encouraging higher thinking skills for GCSE learners by drawing links to different themes/ characters/ facts for ‘Of Mice and Men’
An activity to encourage higher level thinking by drawing links in Blood Brothers
Aimed at WJEC for Wales where context is not a requirement so this aspect is missing but could be easily added
A set of lessons which guide pupils through analysing features of Tony Curtis’ ‘To my Father’ and John Tripp’s ‘Walnut Tree Forge’ for the poetry comparison coursework (Welsh Writing in English).
Please note, these lessons do not feature much in the way of additional activities as I have those as separate files which I’ll upload later. These lessons feature copies of the poem with series of questions to support thorough analysis of each poem - ideal for departments where subject specialism/ confidence is low!
There is then a lesson helping pupils to draw thoughtful comparisons between them.
A set of lessons which guide pupils through analysing features of R. S. Thomas’ ‘A Marriage’ and Owen Sheers’ ‘Eclipse’.
Please note, these lessons do not feature much in the way of additional activities as I have those as separate files which I’ll upload later.

An assessment criteria which blends the English descriptors of learning and the literacy framework which is similar in principle to the old style APP assessment grids.
I’ve split the criteria across two assessment frames: reading/ listening & responding for analysis work and then communcation & creating for written/ spoken assessments.
The final section deals with descriptors which are more pedagogy focussed as opposed to assessment based.
Just a quick resource to hand out to pupils to support them when analysing extracts. This features questions on both language and structure to help them look for key features.
I have these laminated to hand out across a range of texts/ classes!
A fully resourced and differentiated scheme of work available to purchase from me.
Please note that these are DOUBLE lessons but could be split as there is a lot of content for each chapter!
I always prefer to see what I’m purchasing beforehand so I thought a sample lesson would serve that purpose nicely!

This unit of work is aimed towards the WJEC English Literature Unit 1 examination for first study by Year 9 learners. As such, the main focus is upon securing the skills needed for the Extract anaslysis question as my Year 10 unit of work builds up to also include the character/ thematic question in addition.
This unit follows a chapter by chapter lesson format so would also suit KS3 for schools in England where it is no longer on the GCSE specification!
The Year 10 scheme of work and accomanying revision unit will also be available shortly.
