Everything you need to teach Act 1 Scene 2 of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. This is also available as part of a complete scheme of work whereby a considerable saving can be made; further details can be found here. The lessons have been created specifically for teaching at GCSE level, and cover the key assessment objectives for AQA: understanding of the text, language and structure, context/themes/author intent (although equally applicable to other exam boards). Differentiated outcomes and tasks allow you to reach all learners, although I would recommend the lessons specifically for middle to higher ability students. Throughout the scheme, students are encouraged to make notes and annotate the text, as this will be a valuable revision tool when preparing for exams.

Homophones! I'm often gobsmacked to find even my year 11 GCSE classes struggle with there/their/they're and through experience, I've learned that it's not that they don't know the correct homophone, they just simply don't revise them enough to have 'sharp skills' in this respect. These lessons are designed to address this area of weakness we often find in our students. You can do a single round as a starter or you may wish to build a couple of lessons around the whole scheme. Contents as follows: Homophone blast 1 - Round 1 'There/they're/their'. Round 2 'Your/you're' Homphone blast 2 - Round 1 'Were/where/we're'. Round 2 'To/two/too' Homophone blast 3 - Round 1 - Students circle the correct homophone in the sentence. Round 2 - Same as round 1 but more advanced homophones. Homophone blast test - A list of homophones whereby students need to create sentences out of the homophone words Answers PPT - Goes through each blast round by round, providing answers so that the whole thing can be peer-assessed Ready to roll, no adaptation required. Suitable for all age ranges really. Worksheets are easy to follow and ready to print out. Ideal as standalone/cover lessons too.

This is a fully resourced lesson about using colons. Available as part of a punctuation and SPaG scheme of work here. Lessons are ideal for KS3 and KS4 students with a fun and light-hearted feel. Could also be taught to higher ability KS2 students. Would suit a range of abilities as there is lots of scope for stretch and challenge, with ambitious success criteria and extension tasks built in throughout. Scaffolding and differentiation options are built in where appropriate. Fully resourced and ready to roll, minimal adaptation or tweaking required. This is obviously a SPaG/Punctuation lesson, but it is equally focused on creative/descriptive writing too. Much of the content is therefore ideal for teaching general creative writing skills or preparing for the fiction writing task on the new specification GCSE English exam. There’s at least a lesson’s work here; it usually takes a couple of lessons to get through all the content due to the detailed and structured nature of the writing task.
