Crime and Punishment unit- NEW

Updated and improved from last year, my new Crime & Punishment unit!

The unit looks and fiction and non-fiction texts, and teaches all the skills required for student success with the AQA English Language Papers 1 and 2.

This is a whole scope and sequence, covering well over a term’s worth of lessons. Included also is a social justice mini-unit, for getting students involved in Amnesty International’s Write for Rights annual campaign.

Resources span all manner of activities: mixed ability, plenty of differentiation, stretch and challenge, project-based activities, collaborative learning etc. Some of the new additions are: focalisation of narrative, importance of place in crime fiction, Victorian language, crafting compelling villains, and the role of justice in crime.

Formative assessments included, as are student friendly marking criteria and feedback sheets.

I’ve loved sculpting and teaching this unit. Please enjoy!
