<p>This is designed for learners at Key Stage 3 or early-on in Key Stage 4 <strong>to build familiarity with decoding and understanding 19th century texts.</strong> The two texts are c.300 words each so that they’re not intimidating for first-time readers.</p> <p>Questions 02, 03, 04 and 05 are included alongside both 19th century and 21st style texts. I say “in the style of” because I’ve written both texts myself: the 21st century one is about the convenience of Uber and the 19th century one is about a gentleman having his taxi pinched by a drunken rogue after a night at the theatre.</p> <p>There are pre-reading activities as well as activities post-reading:</p> <ol> <li>a “choose your own best guess” at single word meaning from the 19th century text - learners have to select the word they think best fits the tougher vocab, great for pre-reading and building confidence;</li> <li>a glossary for the 19th century text (with answers!);</li> <li>a blank grid for the 21st century text: language device, “quotation” and effect on the reader;</li> <li>a blank writing planning grid with short prompts;</li> <li>a blank compare/contrast table to fill in across 19th and 21st century texts;</li> </ol> <p>Please feel free to adapt, change or amend these resources in any way you feel. It’s very much a “have a go” type of lesson or something that could be used as cover at short notice.</p> <p>Thanks for looking!</p>

<p>An essay planning/differentiated sheet to help students form an answer to the essay question:</p> <p>Explain how Caliban reacts to those around him in Act 1 Scene 2. You must refer to at least two other characters other than Caliban.</p> <p>There are sentence stems to help formulate thoughts and some suggestions of which quotations to use. This was taught to a Year 7 group with KS2 levels of 3B-5B in 2015. The text used was the SparkNotes ‘No Fear Shakespeare’ edition.</p> <p>This was designed as a Key Stage 3 assessment to lead into the (then new/incoming 9-1 GCSEs from WJEC/EDUQAS).</p>

<p>This is a booklet I created for SEND/SEMH learners covering Questions 1-5 on Component 1 for the English Language GCSE from EDUQAS (sat in England).</p> <p>It’s picture-heavy and should build up the same skills required for those working between Grades 1-3.</p>

<p>This is a custom-made past paper in the style of EDUQAS GCSE English Language using an extract from <em>The Catcher in the Rye</em> by J.D. Salinger.</p> <p>Perhaps not much use now after all but I used it as a mock in November 2020.</p> <p>The text with line numbers is inside a table but I’ve made the edges invisible.</p>

<p>This is an SEN / SEND printable resource designed to build reading and comprehension skills using short questions with colour-background text boxes for short story extracts.</p> <p>It’s an original, simple story and there’s a 40 mark AO5 and AO6 writing task tagged on at the end.</p> <p>I’ve tried it out with my Year 11s and found they can follow the story well due to the short chunks of reading required.</p> <p>Vaguely designed in the style of EDEXCL GCSE English Language 2.0 Lift qualification.</p>

<p>Just a quick 5-10 minute starter with word classes and sub-clauses: could be used for Key Stage 2 or low-level Key Stage 3.</p>
