Lessons on the two poems guiding students through - activities included.

Revision sheets to use towards a revision booklet for the AQA exam , or just to get ideas about the poems.

Lesson designed to guide students through the study of the poem - contains activities throughout.

A detailed lesson (or series of lessons depending on time restraints), where students explore a series of important extracts focusing on St John, Hannah and the rest of the Rivers family. Suggests background reading and possible examination questions for both section A and B.

Explores Pinter's Theatre of the Absurd, his style and language.

Series of lessons designed to link in with PSHE body image whilst also a) helping students with independent learning and research techniques, b) guiding them through the basics of information writing and c) making them aware of the problems of using the internet for research, so links in well to ICT across the curriculum.

Links in with the Body Image PSHE unit. Focuses on 'catch up lessons&', DIRT and writing to advise.

Consolidation lesson - students to create their own revision sheet on their favourite poem. To extend, students could also learn one of the poems off by heart and perform it.

This part of the scheme requires students to bring in a few empty bottles of hair or beauty products. This could also be done as part of their independent study. They need a list of ingredients from products they regularly use themselves ideally, or the teacher can just bring in some empty boxes/bottles for the students to investigate. Again, links in with the PSHE body image unit and helps students to write basic articles ready for GCSE.

Guide for students to evaluate their own lesson.

In which students prepare in groups to teach a whole lesson themselves on a poem from another culture. Excellent for G&T independent learning.

A series of lesson desiged to aid the teaching of Arthur Miller's 'All My Sons'. Gives basic analysis with a language focus in order to help use the spoken language framework for ELLA 2 part B examination. May also be used as a revision aid for the students.

Revision sheet for students to keep ready for the unseen poetry exam..

Series of activities to guide students through the study of the elegy. Ideal for key stage 3 but can be used with Key stage 4 lower sets.

Lesson designed for top set groups: differentiated for levels 5 to 6 or C to A students. Guides through inference and deduction as well as selection of relevant quotations.

The first two weeks of lessons on Romanticism. Week 1 study Blake, week 2 Wordsworth, week 3, 4 and 5 Coleridge. A work in progress but the lessons have worked really well with top set G&T students.

Unable to share the power point which goes with this lesson as found on the internet, however, the lessons are based on 'Presents from my Aunts in Pakistan' by Moniza Alvi and many power points and clips can be found easily. This encourages students to create a visual artistic representation of a section of the poem. Works really well with challenging students.

Lessons based on Imtiaz Dharker's poem 'Blessings'. Can easily be differentiated. Works well with middle to lower sets and builds on empathy and creative writing skills as well as poetry analysis.

Again, linked with PSHE on body image, this week focuses on 'writing to argue&'. The &';debatabase' website is extremely useful for students to pick a topic to explore and it gives both the argument and the counter-argument to really push the G&T students.

Lessons on 'The Man He Killed' by Thomas Hardy (following previous William Butler Yeats lessons). Students should be able to apply a simple frame of analysis.
