Two full schemes of work with lessons (differentiate accordingly). Ideally taught alongside Baz Luhrmann's film adaptation. Purposely planned with the 'needs' of KS4 following the curriculum change in mind.

A 15 week SoW with over 40 different lessons on My Sister Lives on the Mantlepiece. It develops all reading, writing, and speaking/listening skills, and takes into account the recent changes to the curriculum.

Two lessons on An Arudel Tomb by Phillip Larkin from the OCR love and relationships cluster.

A lesson introducing comparison of two poems from the OCR Love and Relationships cluster. Lesson starts by comparing two images, and then thinking about how to apply this to poetry. Students are then asked to make a comparison to two poems from the cluster: 'A Song' and 'A Broken Appointment'. There is a model example with a breakdown of how to present a 'good' comparison.

A lesson exploring the difference between tabloid and broadsheet newspapers. Students determine the differences between the two and then explore the same story written by several stories and analyse how each approached it differently.

Lesson on Fin de Fete by Charlotte Mew from the OCR Love and Relationships cluster. The link for the starter should lead to the youtube video 'Someone Like You by Adele'

A lesson on 'A Song' by Helen Maria Williams from the OCR Love and Relationships poetry cluster

A collection of lesson's based on the Merchant of Venice but focused on 'language exam' tasks within the context of the literature course. Differentiate accordingly. Key challenges are 'official' assessments points. Coursework is an extended homework project (not actual coursework)

These are 10 sheets, 1 for each of the following: `Colons, commas, ellipsis, hyphens, semi-colon and exclamation marks. Complex, compound and simple sentence, as well as, embedded clauses. The idea is that you can print these out and stick them in students books when marking to make them aware of a punctuation or grammar error. They then complete the task on the sheet to prove that they are responding to feedback and progressing so that they can master this punctuation/grammar construct. It can also be used as an extension exercise for able students to be given individual targets during lessons to push themselves. I would recommend using these as an intervention strategy with KS3 and with low-achieving KS4.

Lesson on 'Love and Friendship' by Emily Bronte from the OCR Love and Relationships cluster

A lesson based on 'Warming Her Pearls' by Carol Ann Duffy from the OCR Love and Relationships cluster. Lesson builds on independent learning skills.

A lesson on Bright Star by John Keats from the OCR Love and Relationships cluster

A lesson based on introducing critical appreciation. Students will apply their understanding to an extract from The Pioneers

A lesson on In Paris With You by James Fenton from the OCR Love and Relationships cluster

Various lessons and resources based on the OCR English Literature AS exam specification. These are lessons used with the new specification and will need to be differentiated according to your own classes. Week 1-4 Project work on Critical Perspectives Week 5 - Introduction to context Week 6 - Symbolism (Valley of Ashes) Week 7 - Gatsby and the City Week 8 - The Flaneur and narrative perspective Week 9 - Other writers and promoting reading/quality literature Week 10 - Chapter 5: Daisy and Tom Week 11 - Chapter 6: Themes and quotations / Drama / Righting or Writing Week 12 - Chapter 7: Close Reading Skills Week 14: Chapter 8 Week 15: Exam Practice **Updated 4th January 2016 with a complete SoW to guide you through following jadejeffrey's review**

Engaging lesson for students after studying several poems. The lesson involves students using creative methods to approach PEE writing and developing their critical skills.

Whole lesson - used as an intervention to help develop student's use of punctuation within their own creative writing. Also develops student's engagement with giving and receiving feedback. This is a group work lesson aimed at KS 3/4

SoW covering a full-term on Romeo and Juliet for the AQA examboard. One lesson a week (dated Monday) are AQA English Language based lessons, however, the skills run throughout. PPT is main SoW with resources attached.

Please find attached a term of work which covers 'Print Media' (full lessons) and incorporates the completion of the 'textual investigation' for WJEC GCSE Media based on advertising and gender representation.

A 5 week SoW based on Literature Circles. Literature circles are student-led reading groups where students take responsibility for their own learning. This includes assigning roles and completing tasks. As this work is independent, it encourages pupils to become more independent readers and develop their own responses to and opinions about texts. You will be given booklets with the roles and tasks for the students to complete in their books. According to the role they have chosen, the LO is written out at the top of these sheets too so you really are there as a facilitator, letting the students run the lesson themselves. All the information is enclosed: SoW, powerpoint, Literature Circle guide, guide for teachers. For more information on what a 'Literature Circle' is and the research which argues it is a high-impact learning system, please see the references and further reading on the wikipedia page: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literature_circle)
