The Yellow Wallpaper Reading and Creative Writing Booklet

I made this four week scheme for Year 9 students as a self-contained workpack they could use at home during the lockdown.

The 1892 short story The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gillman is the stimulus for the scheme, but the predominant focus is creative writing with an assessment at the end.

The booklet contains 12 lessons and is broken down into three lessons per week.
-The focus for week 1 is the reading of TYW story (the full text is at the end of the booklet), with context, comprehension and summary tasks. There is also a list of key vocabulary and strategies for students to learn and apply these words.
-Weeks 2 and 3 get students to develop creative writing skills with short activities based on extracts and themes in the story, such as feeling ‘trapped’ and creating an unreliable narrator. There are also some SPaG activities.
-In week 4, students produce a longer, Q5-style piece of writing for their final assessment. You might choose to give feedback to students so they can make improvements and share their work.

There are stretch tasks and questions in every lesson and some ideas to support (e.g. a link to a reading of the text on youtube). You may need to differentiate further for some SEND students as this is a fairly tricky 19th century text.

The document does have some specific references to my school which you will need to edit.

Feedback welcome!
