A full scheme of work teaching the content and comprehension of ‘Blood Brothers’ by Willy Russell for GCSE exam board AQA. Designed to teach to a middle ability - top set Year 10 class but can easily be adapted. The scheme includes a 222 slide PowerPoint presentation with detailed lessons on every section of the text, along with all resources, worksheets and homework sheets. There is also continuous assessments throughout the study - both reading, writing and speaking assessments and lessons working towards these. The study focuses on understanding and enjoying the content of the text, analysing key language using the more complex paragraphs and writing in response to key parts of the text. It also has a slide dedicated to higher level extensive vocabulary to use. It is heavily influenced with context, character studies and also analysis of key quotations. At the end of the study, I have included approaches to the exam, strategies to develop a detailed response and also included some templates for creating plans for multiple questions linked to characters and themes. I have also included a wide variety of exam questions to use with groups and reference to the mark scheme. The SOW has been designed completely from scratch with some influence taken from other resources seen and used previously

Included are English language terms presented artistically on A4 posters for the classroom. There are 39 language methods in total and 31 structural methods (which are particularly useful for AQA GCSE Language Paper 1 Question 3). On each poster, there is a language method, a definition, an example and an image to link to the example. I have also included some examples of structural methods on the posters such as sentence types, anaphora, quatrains etc. On the second attachment, there are examples of structural device methods with coloured backgrounds. Posters include references to An Inspector Calls, Jekyll and Hyde, Macbeth and other Shakespeare texts. I have used all posters in my classroom and students have been incredibly grateful for them and absorbed lots of knowledge from them.
