I am an experienced teacher and currently Head of English and Media in a large secondary school. I am also an examiner for EDUQAS English Language GCSE. I have a range of resources available on TES. Some of my resources are quite old, from when I first started out, and I am currently working in my spare time to update my resources. There are a range of resources from displays, schemes of work, revision booklets, mock exam papers and lessons available.

Blackout analysis - Hope is the thing with feathers Emily Dickinson

(1)
A creative, engaging and interesting lesson looking at an Emily Dickenson poem and analyzing language. Students are given a range of tasks to help 'zoom in' on word choice and meaning. Students are asked to create a 'blackout' picture, keeping only the five most important words to them. Used with a top set year 7 class, but easily adapted for key stage 4.

A complete lesson with all resources, learning objectives, success criteria and poem breakdown. This lesson talks through the context, content, structure, form, language, imagery and tone.

A complete lesson looking at how to answer the question 'How does Mickey and Edward's relationship change throughout the play?'. The lesson includes a fun True or False do now, a 'cheat sheet' of important quotes, an example paragraph for the essay and structured sentence starters to assist weaker ability students. True or False cards are also included in the PowerPoint. Easy to use timers are embedded into the PowerPoint to help with students' timed writing ability, and all learning objectives and success criteria are already written. A great lesson for students preparing to take their English Literature GCSE.

Great lesson to link to sexism in literature and film, as well as considering the working world and society around them.
