A lesson that focuses on common spelling errors like ‘i before e’, ‘there/their/they’re’ and more. Designed for KS3 students and including differentiated activities, this is a literacy lesson that ensures students of all abilities are engaged throughout.
A lesson that focuses on using comparatives and superlatives accurately, as well as looking at how to use ‘of’ and ‘have’ correctly and how to differentiate between ‘maybe’ and ‘may be’. Designed for KS3 students and including differentiated activities, this is a literacy lesson that ensures students of all abilities are engaged throughout.
A fully differentiated lesson that looks at a Paper 1-style AQA English Literature question (extract and question included) on A Christmas Carol and reviews the presentation of Scrooge as unsympathetic, the use of language in the extract and how the extract can be linked to historical context before students review their own answers and then self-assess each other’s work. Easily adaptable for other exam questions and for other exam boards. I’m really proud of this one!
As we continue to study Tom Becker’s Darkside, we look at The Prologue and how the character of Ricky is introduced, plus look at the language used to describe one of the mysterious people that follows Ricky through the streets of the city. Fully differentiated and resourced, this lesson is designed for KS3 students but is easily adaptable for older students.
As we continue to study Tom Becker’s Darkside, we delve into Chapter Five and look at how the writer describes the London Underground and introduces the mysterious character of Marianne. A brilliant lesson for KS3 students and fully differentiated throughout.
As we continue to study Darkside by Tom Becker, we use our notes on tension within Chapter Seven to created detailed analytical paragraphs before peer assessing them around class success criteria. A really useful for KS3 students but with activities and resources easily adaptable for KS4. Differentiated througout.
As we continue to study Cirque du Freak by Darren Shan, we look at Chapters 15 and 16 and the characters of Steve and Mr Crepsley, as well as thinking about what vampires are and how Mr Crepsley is presented to us in these chapters. We also explore the friendship between Steve and Darren. A very useful lesson for KS3 students and differentiated throughout.
A very detailed Of Mice and Men themed lesson that supports students to develop their use of punctuation and grammar by providing them with differentiated worksheets on capital letters, full stops, commas, paragraphing, apostrophes, semi-colons and dashes. By the end of the lesson students are given reward badges depending on which challenges that have completed within the lesson. A really useful lesson for KS3 students and some very nifty strategies for KS4 students to use as well.
A festive and fully resourced and differentiated lesson to support students in planning and writing Christmas narratives - excellent preparation for AQA English Language Paper 1 Question 5 and narrative writing and creative writing skills in general.
UPDATED FOR November 2019 - So all up to date! How to solve Brexit? It’s a question our politicians can’t seem to answer, but perhaps our students can see a way forward! Students are given detailed information sheets on six possible ways forward: no deal, Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement, new Boris Johnson withdrawal agreement, new general election, second referendum and revoking Article 50 or cancelling Brexit. Students work in groups to decide on their preferred option before debating different sides of the debate. Finally, students develop a writing to argue piece using their ideas and discussions as a stimulus.

Lesson 3 - Stave One
