Students link characters in the novel to photos in an all-feline casting. Explores the novel in a different way.Only a starter but fun. SEE ALSO Of Mice and DOGS. See also HAMlet, Pinks of Denmark for an all pig casting.Matt Posner: It's a powerpoint with pictures of cats and instructions to match the cats to characters in The Great Gatsby for an imaginary all-cat version of that novel. It's like a feline Terror of Tiny Town. And the resource provider has made two others as noted above.

Lesson designed around vacation where everything goes wrong. Students view slides and write apposite similes; introduce these into a letter of dissatisfaction. Fairly self-explanatory but might need a slide on FORMAL/INFORMAL writing.

Some feedback on this idea, please ? All you need are supermarket receipts from trolleys. People leave them all the time. When you're out shopping grab 'em. This lesson has numerous possibilities and can work on ALL levels.

AMAZING CREATIVE WRITING ACTIVITY

Students have an antipathy toward questions about texts. Here's an exercise with NO text. As they work their way through the questions, the actual,text becomes clearer. There's no right answer, but there are logical ones. Silent start/ one sentence answers and then ....write up the story to which THESE are the questions. Pass to partner and answer. Student led lesson.

Lesson poses 50 things teenagers should experience/learn before becoming 20. Students discuss and perhaps add some of their own. Plenty of scope for adaptation. Let me know if you find this useful. See part 2 as well.

A variation of HOT SEATING.....students create questions they'd ask Lennie on his run from the barn.\nThey then exchange and answer. Adapt this to any other character in the novella. Clearly adaptable to ANY play/poem/novel.

I put these together to help me with behaviour issues in lessons. Students respond well to image re-enforcement and you can easily point to the board instead of repeating yourself. I always begin with the slide 1 when with year7s....
