Lessons to help students gain some confidence with speaking and listening skills for their exam.

A couple of fun lessons to teach students about haikus and limericks and promoting them to create their own. Could be taught as one lesson.

Covers character, theme, context, how to answer an extract question.

Lesson can be easily differentiated for different classes and abilities. Students to draw lines or eyes where they think the focus has altered. Students to cut and stick emojis onto the focus to show what effect is created there. They can then fill in the table. If they need extra support, they can use the focus card sort to help them.

Gives students activities to complete independently as revision before their exam or at the end of the topic.

15/16 lessons which focuses on the topic of love and relationships with an assessment, and then moves onto unseen poetry with another assessment. This could be easily expanded. It aims to mimic the skills used in the AQA Literature exam.

This scheme of work focuses on love and relationships in the play between Beatrice and Benedick, and Hero and Claudio. You would need a film version of Much Ado with Kenneth Brannagh to help with the teaching as it is a short scheme of work. My year 7s really enjoyed it.

An exam overlay to help students answer the exam question successfully.

Covers plot, characters, themes, context.

This is a 10 lesson scheme of work. It could potentially take longer or be easily extended. It focuses mainly on the features of Gothic writing, freak shows, and outsiders. I have also included some paper 2 language skills using real descriptions of people’s experiences of going to a freak show. You will need access to a copy of ‘The Greatest Showman’ film for lesson 7 and 8. You may need to think of some questions to ask for this lesson about the message and inferences of character. I have included links to go with the lessons from Youtube I will be using with this scheme too. There are also pictures of the cast of ‘The Greatest Showman’ with pictures of the real people they are meant to be representing.

A series of 17 lessons to develop students' descriptive writing skills in preparation for the new GCSE English Language descriptive writing task (targeted specifically at the new AQA GCSE - 8700 - Paper 1, Section B). It uses some of the poems from the Power and Conflict section of the AQA anthology as a stimulus, along with a little analytical exploration of them. This is the first unit we teach our Y10s but could be easily adapted to simply focus on descriptive writing, add to the poetry, etc. If you do cover this section of the anthology, it is ready to teach 'straight out the box', with all relevant resources. Plenty of examples of published writers to use as models.

A pack of six sample GCSE English Literature Paper 1, Section A assessments on Macbeth, in the style of the AQA paper. Each text gives key information on the extract, the extract itself (with line numbers), and a task relating to the presentation of a character/theme and the relevant bullet points instructing students to respond to the extract and whole play. Useful for exam practice and/or recapping key scenes. New specification (8702).

A booklet which has a double page on each of the Power and Conflict poems, each with important questions related to the AOs (AO1 ideas, themes, links, evidence; AO2 language, structure and form methods and effects; AO3 context). Also includes subject terminology and encourages students to think more deeply at the poems. This resource could be worked through in class or given to students for directed independent work / revision. It also includes useful links and QR codes.

A complete unit of work, with 17 PowerPoint lessons and accompanying resources to work through the play from the beginning to the end, developing relevant skills (AO1, AO2, AO3 and AO4). Includes opportunities for peer/self reflection using green pen (you may wish to change this if your school has a different colour/policy for independent reflection). Aimed at middle-higher ability but can be adapted. Lessons are designed to be one hour each but many can be stretched to allow for more detailed exploration of ideas where relevant. Useful for any study of An Inspector Calls but created with the new AQA specification (8702, Paper 2) in mind. Note: there are a range of original resources within the package, but two of these are freely available on TES (dominoes task and tension ordering in lessons 1 and 6). I am absolutely not claiming these as my own but including them within the scheme as they are incorporated in the two of the lesson plan PowerPoints I've created :)

14 lessons which cover SPAG in detail. All lessons are linked to the bands of the new AQA spec to stress the importance of good SPAG and the fact it will impact their grades. The booklet means they can work through the activities and have everything all in one place - it looks really good in colour too! Is aimed at year 10/11 but can easily be used for year 7 upwards.

14/15 lesson SoW. Covers different contextual influences e.g. Elizabethan times/Shakespeare/witches. Looks at 'All the World's a Stage', and also focuses on extracts from various Shakespeare plays but mainly 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and 'Macbeth'. Lesson 2 - Timings refer to the film 'Anonymous'. No paper SoW as activities are self-explanatory. Fully decorated, with success criteria, lesson objectives and challenge criteria.
