These resources are designed to inspire and encourage students to use ambitious vocabulary, whilst also visually stimulating them with fascinating images to describe, by considering both elements of the panoramic view, whilst also interweaving zoomed, closer perspectives in their writing. <br /> There are a series of 5 images, all of which are surrounded with differentiated vocabulary for a range of different ability students, this vocabulary is able to be further differentiated for a range of levels, students and word categories. <br /> These images are paired with a PowerPoint, that breaks down higher level grammatical techniques, for example, using a comma to isolate certain words, correct use of semi-colon and dashes (among other techniques); this exposes students to ambitious examples, whilst also enabling them to create, their own, based on the images and lexis provided. <br /> This series of lessons allows for individual, paired and group work at the discretion of the teacher based on knowledge of preferred teaching and learning methods with certain groups. <br /> <br /> PowerPoint and resources are able to last between 3 and 4 lessons, depending on pace and student understanding.

<p>This is a 4 week scheme consisting of 2x Language Paper 1 and 2x Language Paper 2 sources and exams to teach. Each week will cover 1 of the papers - the scheme comes complete with extracts, meticulous powerpoints that take students through question by question, and mark schemes complete within the powerpoints for students to visualise and understand what the examiner expects from them.</p> <p>Each question has a strong planning strategy attached to the powerpoint to go through - this will ensure students are utilising the correct skills for each question.</p>

This is a series of three/four consecutive lessons on poetry for the War and Conflict thematic cluster. <br /> The lessons centre around one poem - Simon Armitage's 'Out of the Blue.'<br /> This poem breaks away from the WW1 poetry, offering students a modern poem, centralising war and conflict in terms of the 9/11 disaster and the attacks that occurred in New York on September 11th. <br /> The lesson considers higher level poetic techniques, including the consideration of Armitage's structural effects and exploration of other sophisticated features - this can be differentiated to accommodate both middle and lower ability students, also. <br /> After a series of mini tasks and questions throughout the first couple of lessons, this mini scheme reminds students of the skills required inside a poetic, analytical response, and allows students to write up all of their findings to produce a GCSE style response.

This unit of work explores AQA Language Paper 1. The PowerPoint breaks down each question in turn, and provides a walking. talking, mock style response that teachers can talk students through their thought process in exam conditions. <br /> This allows students and teachers to work together to create responses for each question. This unit also includes student responses to each question, and the marks that they received - this enables students to visually see what AQA are looking for, to ensure full marks for each question. <br /> Includes both PowerPoint and Inserts of short story required to answer exam questions.

This resource is aimed at Secondary school students, at higher KS3 (Year 9) and KS4 GCSE students taking their English Literature GCSE. <br /> The 'A Christmas Carol' scheme was created by myself for my Academy, and is continously, and successfully used throughout the department. <br /> The scheme is engaging, and includes a great range of tasks and teaching strategies - from kinesthetic activities, to group and paired activities - something for every type of classroom and adaptable for different types of learners, too. This also includes two mock assessment questions, complete with scaffolding activities.<br /> It incorporates all of the Assessment Objectives, emphasising their importance to the students, and holding these at the heartof their learning.

This lesson walks students through creating a descriptive writing piece based on nature - particularly an Enchanted Forest. I used my students' ideas about the magical forest imagery from Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' in order to create the vocabulary and stand alone examples scattered throughout the PowerPoint. <br /> <br /> There are a series of images on the PowerPoint that students may select as stimulus for their piece - this gives students more of a choice and enables unique and independent responses that the students feel ownership over.<br /> <br /> There are small tasks and challenge tasks scattered throughout, all building up to creating the larger, more detailed GCSE style response. The word document also included, is an A3 sheet with the template of a tree, inside which, students can write up their final description in best. This can then be decorated and coloured in other lessons afterwards, and maybe used to create a creative writing display! Enjoy!

This resource was created by myself, specifically in relation to KS3 classes, however, this can be adapted for KS4 use and can also be amended to suit different ability students, with a variation of task styles in mind. <br /> This resource is one single PowerPoint, that includes a series of 6 lessons, that centralizes the key theme of Love, and the sub-themes of love in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The sub-themes include Unrequited Love, Romantic Love and Family Honour. <br /> The PowerPoint includes Success Criteria, and reflection activities to allow students to reflect on their work and amend accordingly. <br /> There is no printing necessary with this small unit of work, as all content is explored through the slides of the PowerPoint.

This PowerPoint presentation takes students on a journey through the contextual elements of the poem, Blake's life and how he came to create a poetic critique of 18th Century London. <br /> This lesson also talks students through the French Revolution, and how Blake alludes to this throughout his poem - allowing the students to create a broad range of contextual paragraphs in relation to the language used throughout the poem. <br /> As well as allowing students to focus on context, this presentation also breaks down the language used in particular stanzas in the poem, providing students with in depth annotations, whilst modeling to them which sections of language to look at, and how to break language down and apply this to detailed paragraphs. <br /> Suitable for both KS3 and KS4 poetry lessons - pitched to mid ability students, so the lesson is able to be differentiated both up and down in terms of ability.

<p>This is a language paper 1 walking, talking mock exam. This comes complete with powerpoint that meticulously guides students through each question on the exam, strategies in order to plan correctly and scaffolds to guide their response and ensure they stretch and challenge to achieve upper band responses.</p>

<p>This is a full teaching scheme designed to last 7 weeks. This scheme introduces and develops students’ knowledge on the key skills required for the AQA Language Papers. The primary focus is Language Paper 1, however there are a number of skills that are extremely useful for Language Paper 2, also.</p> <p>This scheme is perfect for Year 9 and Year 10 classes that need an introduction to, and a subsequent development of skills required for both AQA Language papers.</p> <p>All resources and extracts used are included in the scheme and all powerpoint lessons included, too.
