Welcome. This PPT has a range of guided listening activities to help students engage with the script and ideas before writing their own satirical podcast scripts on their home towns. WTNV is a highly celebrated podcast for its representative cast and amusing events. This particular PPT is based around episode 28: The Summer Reading Programme where children are captured by the evil librarians and eventually escape after beheading them. This exciting event is broken up with a range of government approved messages and advertisement parodies. My students really enjoyed creating their own podcasts and we put them up on the school website for everyone to listen to. They really threw themselves into it far more successfully than any previous work on script writing. This could also make a nice G&T after-school project.

It’s the hardest time of the year for your iGCSE students. For less than 25p per student, they can have this complete pack of 2018 CIE Songs of Ourselves poetry analysis and revision. Every single poem is analysed with notes on language, structure, form and a separate page of context about the author, the time they lived and anything else significant to the poem. Perfect for students who have missed a lesson or lessons: just print the notes for that page. Or you could give a copy to each student to read and work on over the holidays. I have also provided a range of previous exam questions, a checklist for achieving high grades, essay planning advice and top tips for getting your students the best grades they can. Save yourself time and energy. Good luck!

15 full 90 minute lessons with all resources for a huge Fantasy SOW! There are resources for creating fantasy world, creating characters, designing a quest and writing stories with each part clearly explained for all abilities with fool-proof explanations. There is also a large focus on active reading and comprehension tests for all abilities so the students see modeled examples of well-known and less well-know authors. I have also included resources for use before, during and after watching The Never Ending Story (which worked well with my low ability group and high ability group) to demonstrate story structures. This is part 1 of 2

This sequence of lessons spanned about 10 weeks but these were the powerpoints I used to structure the first 6 lessons. After this, rehearsal took on a larger role. These 6 PowerPoints include starters relevant to the dramatic skills the students should practice, introductions and with clear objectives and activities to develop students’ abilities and play with the text. There are also plenaries beyond just comparing themselves to the objectives. I performed this version of the script (the pdf is included for your ease here. It is not my work but is freely available) with year 7 and it has more than enough drama with none of the swearing or racism. The lessons themselves have activities for a range of abilities and ages and would be easily adapted to any other text. They work on voice, showing status through body language, symbolism, memorizing lines, teamwork and characterization, among other topics. This play is for 14 students, so we had understudies for each part and they teamed up to work on characterisation (though some decided to perform in contrasting ways) . The narrators took on a character each, other itinerant travelers in our case, but we discussed making them cats or dogs, birds or even angels. Break a leg!!

This part has lesson by lesson story writing support for students of all abilities as well as extracts from a range of fantasy stories to be performed, analysed and inspired by. There is more of a focus on spelling and grammar skills in starters for these writing lessons covering apostrophes (contraction and omission); there, their and they're; punctuating speech; paragraphing (how to develop and when to move on) and tension building techniques as well as clear instructions for acceptable and unacceptable endings (...or are there????? Yes. Yes there are.) During writing, we listened to the soundtrack from Oblivion, which is suitably epic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpqSdORmCX4 Lesson 7 was a Geography cross-over lesson to support map making. The Hogfather would make a nice extract to analyse in the run up to Christmas. The last section, writing up, was run in conjunction with ICT and Art, giving students the chance to produce their own short story collections which were then sold at school to raise money. The kids and their parents loved seeing their work in print and I'm sure yours will too! Reviews are much loved and appreciated!

Hi! I know how much hard work it is teaching a novel. I’m here to do it all for you. Just download this and teach. Everything you need is provided. It has been sdesigned to support GCSE students, though it could easily be adapted for A level. Three complete lessons with foolproof PowerPoints for lesson including titles, dates, objectives, starters, mark scheme analysis, paragraph structure support, character analysis, language analsysis sheets, comprehension and analysis questions for every paragraph of the story which is displayed alongside the questions. Where answers are provided, they aim to stretch and challenge the answers given by students. Two or more plenaries are provided for each lesson. Links to useful online videos, articles, historical background and more are linked within the lessons for students, but I have also provided you with a “cheat sheet” of all the useful links in one document. This could also become a webquest for students or a revision document. I have also provided revision documents in the form of quotations for the first chapter’s themes. If you like this resource, please save some cash and buy the bundle! There’ll be a lot of resources for all 19 chapters!

The fourth part of the complete SOW for No Longer at Ease by Chinua Achebe. These are the resources for at least two complete lessons including homework/revision, starters, context, a major focus on vocabulary with several fun and engaging activities to let students practice using them, sentence level analysis games and activities, every word of the novel with questions and answers for each paragraph, a focus on Obi as a tragic hero, essay writing scaffolding which breaks down how to analyse the question, plan a response and structure a paragraph with sentence starters and a student-friendly mark scheme. Nothing YOU have to do except print the worksheets to support weaker students if applicable, and then project the presentations. Next lesson is an assessment essay on Obi!

The third installment of the complete SOW for No Longer at Ease by Chinua Achebe. These are the resources for at least two complete lessons including homework/revision, starters, context, summarising skills, a diary writing activity, every word of the novel with questions and answers for each paragraph as well, essay writing scaffolding which breaks down how to analyse the question, plan a response and structure a paragraph with sentence starters and a student-friendly mark scheme. Nothing YOU have to do except print the diary outline to support weaker students if applicable, and then project the presentations.** I believe you could walk in and teach the book without having ever read it or checking these slides once. ** Prove me wrong!

Two complete lessons on PowerPoint including every word of chapter 5 with questions to guide students’ first or second reading of Chinua Achebe’s novel No Longer at Ease. There are starters, plenaries, biographical and contextual information as well as a finished exemplar essay on Obi to help your students reflect on their own essays. Mark it with them and then allow them to mark their own essays and improve them. The essay mark scheme as well as planning documents are included. I have also added useful links for the chapter which could support your subject knowledge, or become a webquest/revision/flipped learning activity for students.

These lessons cover, in detail, the first three chapters of the novel and include everything for each lesson: objectives, starters, activities, analysis, character sheets, quizzes, plenaries and the text itself, just in case someone forgets a book (which inevitably happens!). This is a wonderful book to study with year 8 or 9 and fills in a lot of the gaps in their knowledge of the USA between the end of slavery and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. It is a sweet story, told through the eyes of our plucky heroine, Cassie as she learns about the unfairness and danger of her society. It holds up some important mirrors to today's society and the political and social issues we all still deal with. This goes well with the 1930s historical context lessons I have uploaded to my store. Look out for part 2, coming soon!

This is everything you need to start teaching immediately! No books yet? No problem. It’s all on the slides! These resources are designed to guide students through their first reading of Chinua Achebe’s No Longer at Ease (1960). Each PowerPoint has a complete lesson, from starter to plenary including every word from the chapter displayed, key vocabulary and definitions displayed and questions on langugae, character, relationships, context and theme asked and answers animated to pop up after each slide. The useful links provided will help you as a teacher and they make excellent G&T or flipped learning webquests to give to students for homework. Useful quotes on our main character, Obi, have been provided, ready for students to add to them as they read the further chapters. I have also included two games/activities to build students’ vocabulary and language analysis skills. Wherever an activity has more than one method of facilitation, I have added notes to the PowerPoint suggesting how it could be completed for different groups. After the comprehension questions, each lesson has 10 slides of structured essay writing guidance designed to support students tackle the question, plan their response, and structure analytical paragraphs. The student-friendly iGCSE mark scheme comes last along with peer/self-marking instructions. COMPETITION TIME!* I haven’t yet decided on my next SOW to make. If you have a request, please send me a brief message explaining what you would want. If I choose yours, I’ll pass the resources on to the first person who suggested it for FREEEEEEEE!!! No purchase necessary :)

This scheme of work was created for my high ability KS3 group, but this would make a great introduction to the Romantics at any age. This scheme of work was taken on by my whole department and to a chain of academies which we led. There are several Romantic poets covered here: Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, Blake, Coleridge, Keats, of course, but also fantastic female poets Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Charlotte Turner Smith who wrote passionately against slavery through the narrative voice of an angel. There are 9 packed lessons, all with starters, developments, analysis, outcomes, plenaries, homework....the lot! No preparation needed, no effort; just happy kids who learn a huge amount! Please rate and review this resource pack. I think you'll love it!

It’s remarkable how relevant this book is right now. This bundle of lessons includes the final lessons on chapters 9 - 12 and the final assessment. I have included 24 files: every resource you will need and a complete PowerPoint for each lesson including starters, objectives, guided reading with questions on the chapters, development activities and detailed plenaries. There are two additional and non-essential lessons which I have included and my class completed. They reported finding that the unseen poetry lesson was a nice break from doing the book, helped them understand the context, and they were happy to hear a new range of poetic voices. The assessment lesson was necessary because it was our first unit back after the holidays and year 9 needed a refresher. You could easily adapt the assessment lessons (14, 18 and 19) to other questions and have some ready made revision lessons. Download and teach. No preparation required. Minimal or optional printing. A range of possible activities often offered for differentiation. Enjoy!

15 different resources to teach the events, structure, imagery and characterisation in chapters 4, 5 and 6 of Mildred D Taylor's Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry including a mid-point assessment in the form of an essay on the character of Cassie Logan. The assessment includes a blank essay template with prompts as well as a completed one and an essay built from that template as a model for your students. My students loved Roll of Thunder and enjoyed Cassie as a character. I hope yours do to.

This is a must-have resource if you're teaching Cry, the Beloved Country and will save you hours of time and energy which you can put into the teaching!

EVERYTHING YOU NEED! This is a very academic scheme of work, designed to see rapid progress in reading skills based around Gothic literature. No filler, all killer ;D. I initially created this for my English department to use so it is completely comprehensive and should mean all you have to do is print (sometimes) and go! The students I've taught this SOW to (more than 90 different ages, abilities and backgrounds) found the subject matter really engaging and the assessments challenging, but achievable. There are a wide variety of abilities catered for (from set 1 to set 7). I have taught this at KS3 and introduction to GCSE in year 9. Foundation lesson plans are provided for each lesson as well as worksheets or assessments, a PowerPoint for each lesson and homework assignments. This is going to save you tonnes of time and energy. 8 different narratives are covered including poetry, short stories and extracts from novels. These include: * The Raven * The Mummy * The Red Room * Call of Cthulhu * Wyrd Sisters * The Graveyard Book * Harry Potter * Jekyll and Hyde The SOW focuses on reading skills including reading for meaning; understanding characters and motives; genre, themes, conventions and author's messages; language features and analysis; structural techniques and tension building; analytical writing scaffolding structures at sentence, paragraph and whole essay level. There are at least 9 weeks' worth of lessons covered, though it could easily be shrunk or extended to suit your students and the available time. I always aim to give you more than you could possibly need, so only select what is right for you.

Each lesson covers about 20 pages which was perfect for a double lesson. Students could complete the reading at home. Lessons have titles, dates, learning objectives on every slide and activities geared towards that focus. Students progress from analysing individual quotes to structuring detailed analytical essay paragraphs and then on to essay planning, breaking down extract analysis and whole text essay questions including exemplar paragraphs. The novel follows a young man born in London as he is deported to Australia and faces conflict with the Aboriginal family who live on the land he wishes to take over. It is an unflinching novel and there were tears at the climax from several students (and me!). This would make a great addition to any GCSE or A level course programme. The questions (10 to 15 for each chapter) aim to keep notes of each chapter as well as support the students’ understanding of how to write about characters, setting, language and style. To go with lesson 3, I used a fantastic free resource on Crime and Punishment in Victorian London and one on Australian and Aboriginal culture. I have included links to those on the appropriate lessons. In fact, you’ll find lots of links and notes on PowerPoints with helpful guidance for you and the students to increase their cultural capital on Australian history.
