Students enjoyed this lesson before going into more detail later on in the year.

A Christmas Carol & Macbeth Walking Talking Mock TOP SETS
These two PPTs go through how to teach top set students (to be delivered in a hall of set 1s and set 2s) how to adapt their writing ensuring they are focusing on expanding their ideas. Not only does this allow students to explore ideas linking them together, but it also gives them an introduction and first paragraph.
It should be noted that these will not be able to be replicated perfectly in the exam, but they should aim high to be able to recreate what they need to in order to gain the top marks.

AQA A Level English Language NEA Commentary Lesson
This lesson is designed to assist A Level English Language students on preparing to write their commentary element for their coursework. The PPT should be introduced over two lessons and have examples of a commentary attached to it (I have included two examples from my students from previous years).
The lesson should be printed (certain slides should be) for the students to follow and assist their own levels of analysis.
To plan, get the students to have a look at the language levels that link together then create paragraphs analysing them referencing the style model as they go.
My biggest tip would be to get students to write paragraphs based on the language levels first, and then see if they can piece together the essay with those paragraphs. My students seem to discuss the style model too much to begin with, rather than analysing their own work referencing the style models.
Hope this helps!
KS3 Lessons 1 -13 Descriptive Writing Scheme of Work
This scheme of work has been designed to recap the different sentence types and begin to think about how students describe to ensure they are adding description, but looking at the meaning behind the lessons.
There are 13 lessons included in this scheme of learning, but some of them are slow writes which mean they can take more than one lesson so there could be roughly 17 out of them.
This scheme of work was put in place to ensure students were given time to describe and have a go at writing, but also to look at how they introduce characters and how they can change them.
Hope this helps!

Made for a set 3 target grades 4-6 English Literature group.
These 5 lessons were designed for a first reading of A Christmas Carol - the lessons took longer than 5 hours as I also used the Disney version to play sections of the film to clarify what was happening, but there was a lot of modelling when we annotated the novella under visualisers and completed an assessment as well.

x9 Lessons The Murder of Roger Ackroyd Agatha Christie AQA Scheme A Level Crime Spec B
Attached is approximately a 9 lesson scheme for the teaching of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie.

The booklet also includes specific revision tasks linking to the crime genre, the investigation and Christie’s authorial intent and it also has activities on the back that link to the overview of the text.
Some lessons were substituted by reading and annotating the novel, and some lessons were PowerPoint based and some were worksheet based.

x8 Lessons Crime Poetry Peter Grimes by George Crabbe AQA A Level
Here are 8 lessons on Peter Grimes for A Level (annotating will have taken place within these lessons as well).

The lessons focus on lines 1 - 153 with having looked at and annotated lines 1 - 200 in terms of annotating.
When teaching this poem for the first time, I found that if I concentrated and took it slowly up to line 153, the class could then feel confident about continuing their own annotations in small groups/pairs and then feeding back to one another.
