These are all my resources for teaching the play version of Curious Incident, for the new AQA GCSE Literature spec. The resources are numbered from 1-21 to be used in order. There are a mixture of resources, mostly in the structure of a powerpoint that should take 2-3 lessons depending on class to cover content and analysis, and then an activity worksheet to work through skills or refresh knowledge. There is also a themes pack where students can record links to various themes, and a list of potential subjects for exam questions. All powerpoints and tasks are differentiated, with extension work and scaffolded work. There are also 2 exam papers to be taken as progress tests, one in the middle of the content and one at the end.
This is the 120 page booklet that I have made for my A Level Literature students for working on the Ted Hughes, Birthday Letters collection.

This is the mark scheme that I have created for the Term 1 Paper 1 AQA GCSE English Language practice paper that I am doing with my year 10s.

I have created a mock assessment using the AQA GCSE English Language Paper 1 Reading section as a format. These resources contain an extract to read and analyse, and then 4 questions (in the same format as the AQA paper) to assess students' progress.
