The lesson requires students to analyse the poem on the board but the slides in the PowerPoint offer support to students as there are questions beside each stanza prompting students. There are also extension tasks to try and extend students understanding and analysis of the poem.

A whole lesson on the use of satire/irony in Animal Farm. It's quite advanced and was used with top set year 9. There is a lot of support in the lesson to help weaker students access the content.

A lesson on the poem Our Sharpeville. Students could analyse the poem individually or work in pairs/small groups to answer the questions on the slides about each stanza of the poem. Ultimately, the students will have to write at least one PEE paragraph in response to the poem. This could easily stretch over two lessons. Extensions are embedded but you may need to add more support depending on your class.

Included are two complete practise papers for AQA English Language Paper 1. The two texts used for each Section A are ‘The Help’ and ‘The Road’. The extract from ‘The Help’ is slightly too long -intentionally so - feel free to adapt it for your own class. The extract from ‘The Road’ is rather difficult but my middle set year 11 class found it rather intriguing to analyse. Both extracts are found freely available online. You are paying for the paper and its content, not the extracts, which are included for free.

A lesson exploring Old Major's use of rhetoric to persuade his fellow animals to rebel.

This is a full SOW for An Inspector Calls based on the recent AQA specifications. It includes 13 differentiated lessons where students get the opportunity to practise their PEEL paragraph skills. I am currently using this resource with a middle ability year 9 class as part of their introduction to the text. However, it could be easily adapted to be used with other years and abilities. **Please note: **I do not own the rights to these extracts, which is why they are NOT included in the cost of this SOW. I used an online version of the text to take these extracts from. SOURCE: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxtcnNnbGl0cmV2aXNpb258Z3g6NzZkY2Q1OTYxNjJlMjMwZA
