The Empress GCSE Scheme of Work [EXPAND]

Do you want to teach The Empress? Are you looking to expand the selection of diverse voices in your schemes of work? Are you hoping to champion students of colour?

There are two versions of this scheme, standard and expanded. This expanded version covers the following.

For Students

This is a six week scheme of work that covers all of the key material needed to teach Tanika Gupta’s ‘The Empress’ at GCSE. Over 24 lessons, students will learn to break down the play, to write full-length answers to exam-style questions, and to successfully revise. There is a key focus on characterisation, vocabulary, exam-style writing and context. Everything is laid out in an easy digestible manner and the scheme includes time to read.

For Teachers

Each lesson includes helpful guiding question that are answered in the scheme to take the burden off of teachers. Alongside this, there is a scheme overview pack, a key terms glossary, dual coded quotes, and revision tools to helpfully summarise the key character journeys within the play. Each of these can be employed to gain a secure knowledge of the play before you start to teach.

Exam Focus

To secure student success, revision materials are embedded within the scheme. There are dual coded quotes that students can use to revise, an exam mnemonic to help student writing, model answers with scaffolded questions, and revision worksheets to catch up students who may have missed lessons or join the school year at a different time.
