Language under the microscope A-level English Language lesson 1

Lesson plan, PPTs , handouts and all resources for lesson introducing the concepts for looking at and analysing text. PPT on signifier, signified and the sign, PPT to accompany each activity (with notes beneath slides where applicable), glossary of terms, handouts of texts to analyse, homework activity. This lesson expands on the OCR first set of materials for the ‘language under the microscope’ unit and includes OCR resources where applicable. Many thanks to CNN Media at slideshare.netcitycollegemedia for the PPT on signifier, signified and the sign. I use this with my home tuition students, but it would work in a classroom setting or can be adapted as required. I hope it helps.
