A mini scheme of learning designed to help KS3/4 students to practise their creative writing skills (ideal preparation/revision for GCSE Language Paper writing questions). The learning enables students to identify and use a range of language features to create complex, layered descriptions. The scheme should last 1-2 weeks and ends with an assessment point (based around London during The Blitz). All required resources are included.

This scheme of learning was designed for Year Seven students and focuses on the genre of crime writing and also embeds inference skills throughout. It contains approx 7 weeks of lessons (with all required resources) if teaching one text, or more if two are being taught (see below). Teachers may wish to support the learning with recent TV adaptations of both texts. It begins by giving an outline of genre (unit 1 - history, influences, structure etc.) and then moves on to the study of either Hound of the Baskervilles (higher ability) or Murder on the Orient Express (lower ability) (units 2a/b). NOTE - this part of the SOL is fully adaptable and both texts can be taught if desired. The differentiated nature of the SOL also makes it easily adaptable for other KS3 year groups.

This SOL should last approximately seven weeks, and is designed to introduce students to the GCSE text 'An Inspector Calls' by J.B Priestley. Each lesson comes with a PowerPoint slideshow and any required resources. It is designed to be supported by the 2015 BBC adaptation of the play. It is comprised of seven mini units (see image) that are somewhat interchangeable and can also be used as standalone mini-units for revision. It was originally designed to scaffold GCSE skills for a high ability Year 9 group, however has worked successfully with KS4 groups as an introduction to the text.

This mini scheme of learning is designed to enable students to begin analysing poetry, and also to practise basic literacy skills. It was originally designed for mid-ability year 7 students, however could be easily adapted to suit older/younger classes. The SOL uses famous nonsense poetry to explore language features, rhyme/rhyme schemes, word classes, sentence types, with opportunities for students to practise their comprehension and writing skills. The scheme will last about 5-6 lessons and is ideal for the first few English lessons of the year, or for groups during their allocated literacy/reading lessons. Texts covered: How Doth the Little Crocodile/Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat/The Jabberwocky from Alice in Wonderland The Cat in the Hat Nursery Rhymes
