This Literacy Programme is 3 of 3 for use with year 7s across an entire term and forms part of a newly written programme that builds on the strengthened demands of the KS2 literacy skills. This resource includes a PDF version of the programme plus an Adobe version that is editable so that the name of your school/behaviour policy can be incorporated into the documents. The powerpoint presentation is used to test the weekly skills gained by your students and allows you to track progress and build in additional intervention for areas of shortfall post completion. The subsequent booklets for use in this Programme for years 8 and 9 will be posted imminently.

This resource is designed for the NEW anthology World and Lives and focuses on the poem Thirteen by Caleb Femi. It is fully differentiated and includes a range of different approaches to poetry analysis including different tasks for different abilities, an examplar paragraph and peer teaching. This is a stand alone lesson and concludes with an exam style question on this text with a brief plan of how students might approach it. Student speak AOs are used to encourage students to link their responses to the mark scheme relevant to this part of the specification. This is fully accessible with plenty of stretch for your most able students. This resource includes ideas about relevant context linked to the textual analysis, and structure and language analysis guidance and tasks. If you find this resource useful do follow me as I am working on further resources specific to this Anthology which will be uploaded shortly.
