A variety of reading and writing tasks all focused around the Titanic. Clips can be shown from the film to aid learning.

Green - less able Yellow - more able Blue - most able Hyperlinked for ease to other slides. 1 reading and 1 writing activity per lesson (42 activities altogether). Covers year 7-9 but can be used for generic activities. Success criteria uses levels from the previous national curriculum levels but can be easily adapted depending on what your school is doing. Could also be used with primary school as it is generic. Also includes famous people reading to encourage reading as well as timers.

15 lessons which cover all of the poems. They encourage the students to become more independent and I have included lots of videos to engage them. My classes seemed to enjoy them and got a lot out of the lessons. Includes challenge activities working through Bloom’s. Includes an exam style question/task for each poem with a focus on writer’s intention.

44 detailed lessons which covers plot, characters, themes and context. Learning objectives are linked to the new AQA spec assessment objectives.

A complete series of lessons, with 17 PowerPoints and accompanying resources to work through the play from the beginning to the end, developing relevant skills (AO1, AO2, AO3 and AO4). Includes opportunities for peer/self reflection using green pen (you may wish to change this if your school has a different colour/policy for independent reflection). Aimed at middle-higher ability but can be adapted. Lessons are designed to be one hour each but many can be stretched to allow for more detailed exploration of ideas where relevant. Useful for any study of An Inspector Calls but created with the new AQA specification (8702, Paper 2) in mind. Note: there are a range of original resources within the package, but two of these are freely available on TES (dominoes task and tension ordering in lessons 1 and 6). I am absolutely not claiming these as my own but including them within the scheme as they are incorporated in the two of the lesson plan PowerPoints I’ve created :)

Fully decorated. Covers plot, theme, characters, setting and context of the play. Linked to the new AQA spec and covers all the assessment objectives. Range of extension and challenge opportunities throughout. Booklet includes the activities from the powerpoint. No paper scheme of work as the powerpoints are self-explanatory.

Covers plot, characters, theme and context. All extremely detailed and includes 'did you know?' interesting facts. Please note that not all powerpoints have learning objectives on as I am going to add these on at a later date and have not had time as of yet as I have spent hours making these. All decorated and covers exam practice. Please leave feedback. Thank you.

14 lessons which cover SPAG in detail. All lessons are linked to the bands of the new AQA spec to stress the importance of good SPAG and the fact it will impact their grades. The booklet means they can work through the activities and have everything all in one place - it looks really good in colour too! Is aimed at year 10/11 but can easily be used for year 7 upwards.

A fully resourced scheme, covering 34 lessons (which can be reduced if needed, as covered below) on a range of engaging short stories. This allows KS3 students to enjoy reading without getting bogged down in a single text, while covering key skills for both GCSE Language and Literature further down the line. It is most suited to Year 8 or 9, but could also be tailored for use with Year 7 or even as an introductory unit to GCSE skills in Year 10. Included: A ‘five a day’ style ‘Do Now’ activity, to recap key knowledge and settle students on entry, for each lesson. Learning intention/objective (as a ‘big question’, with differentiated success criteria - bronze, silver, gold) for each lesson. Regular opportunities for reflection, peer/self assessment and improvements. All stories, worksheets, assessments and PowerPoints. Mark schemes and conversions to estimated GCSE grades. Coverage of key assessment objectives for Language and Literature, based on AQA spec but transferable across boards. Work on building tier 2 and tier 3 vocabulary. Extensions for students who finish tasks before others. Embedded challenge tasks for higher ability students. Opportunities to scaffold and support. Model answers. Quiz at the end of each story to check learning, which can be peer assessed. Embedded AfL opportunities to check knowledge. Guidance for teachers within ‘Notes’ of relevant slides. Potential to use creative tasks as homework pieces. Five short stories have six lessons each, following the same pattern and developing skills further each time: 1: Reading, understanding and enaging with the story. (Lang & Lit AO1) 2: Checking understanding and covering literary concepts, such as theme and genre. (Lang AO1; Lit AO1 & AO2) 3: Structure skills. (Lang & Lit AO2) 4: Evaluation skills (including language analysis) - with support. (Lang AO2, AO4; Lit AO2) 5: Independently applying evaluation skills. (Lang AO4) 6: Reflecting on evaluation and creative writing. (Lang AO5, AO6; Lit AO4) This scheme can be taught ‘straight out the box’. The only parts you might wish to edit are the references to red and purple pen for reflection and extending work, if your school has a different policy. Lessons can also be easily edited to suit your students; the scheme can be shortened if necessary by removing one or two of the stories - it could cover a few weeks, a half-term or even a full term. Sections could even be taken to set as cover for a few lessons’ absence. My students, particularly boys, have responded really well to this unit and enjoyed the stories, which were selected in consultation with both students and English teachers.
