A bundle of PDF documents containing information for each A Level Set Work, as examined in 2018, for Edexcel. The documents go through background and contextual information for the composer and piece plus detailed information about the pieces themselves included bar numbers. For each piece, there is a detailed overview that goes through key points about the piece chronologically, followed by a summary section providing information about the melody, harmony, tempo, texture, structure, tonality, instrumentation, timbre etc for. The resource would be a revision resource for students, but it could also be used for teaching - as a way of delivering the key information needed for students to have a good understanding of each piece.
A bundle of presentations (PDF) covering content and specific factual detail for the AQA A Level History course on Germany between 1871 - 1991. The presentations are largely organised into four sections including: political events and details, economic events and details, societal events and details, and foreign relationships. There are also some presentations that focus on particular governments or periods, for example the Nazi regime, or Germany under Bismarck etc. The resources would be a great way to teach students the content in the classrooms but they would also make excellent resources for students own revision and study, as they provide a lot of key information all together.
6 LESSON SERIES ON MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTAL FAMILIES - WHOLE UNIT OF WORK
The aim of this unit of work is to enable children to learn about music and musical instruments without the requirement of any specialist music teacher, prior musical knowledge, or practical music resources like instruments.
Structure
There are 6 lessons within this unit of work on the topic of musical instruments and instrumental families. Each lesson is titled as follows:
Introduction to Musical Instruments and Instrumental Families
The Woodwind Family
The Brass Family
The String Family
The Percussion Family
The Keyboard Family
Lesson Content
Each lesson is structured as a detailed presentation. Each presentation follows the same structure to allow for consistency throughout the unit.
Introduction and Recap of Instrumental Families
Introduction to the topic instrumental family - overview
Key instruments within that instrumental family
Comparing instruments within that family
Activities
In each lesson, up to 6 musical instruments from the instrumental family in question are covered in detail with an overarching focus on key features of that family. The aim for each lesson is for students to recognise and describe to a basic level features and instruments within that instrumental family.
Activities
Questions are asked throughout to help engage students’ attention and allow them to have an active part in their learning. Activities are also involved in the lesson to help students consolidate their knowledge. Activities include the following:
mind map activity
poster-making/ advertising activity
written fact-file activity
Creative design activity
All activities are designed to cover the instrumental family in question, and incorporate cross-curricular learning with specific emphasis on numeracy and literacy skills.
Inclusivity
Colour is used throughout to aid memory. Colour coding is used throughout the unit to provide consistency with colour links across lessons. Animations and transitions are used throughout to engage attention but they are used subtly so as to not become overwhelming or overstimulating. For lower level learners, all lessons can be easily segmented into 2/3 lessons. Suggestions for differentiation included.
**Adjectives, Adverbs, Clauses, Conjunctions, Nouns, and Verbs. **
A collection of lessons comprising of an entire unit of work on different types of words - adjectives, adverbs, clauses, conjunctions, nouns, and verbs. A lesson on each of the different types of words then a final lesson which summarises all the different types to consolidate knowledge and recap.
Each lesson contains a highly interactive presentation and a worksheet pack. All the presentations follow a similar structure to allow for consistency in the teaching method between lessons.
Presentations - Presentations are structured roughly around the following three parts; “what is a (…)”?, examples of (…), “how can we use (…) in our writing”. Spoken, written, acting, and group activities are interspersed throughout the presentations to maintain pupil attention and allow them to have an active role within their learning and teaching of new content. Each presentation is designed as an active learning experience and is in no way just something for students to listen too. Throughout each presentation students are given opportunities to engage through the many activities as exampled above. Each lesson focuses on application to sentences, writing, and wider contents to promote relevancy and further skill development.
Worksheets - each lesson comes with a worksheet pack containing 3-5 worksheets per lesson. Worksheets cover a variety of different activities: reading activties, writing activities, fill-in-the-blank activities, cut-and-stick activities, colouring activities, labelling activities etc. Each worksheet includes clear, step-by-step instructions. Answers are provided on separate sheets where appropriate.
Feedback on other lessons that could be added to this unit of work is greatly appreciated. Feedback on the unit would also be greatly appreciated.
