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.
Seven A Christmas Carol lessons collated together as part of a much larger super Literature bundle!
Includes:
Lesson 1 - Introduction to A Christmas Carol
Lesson 2 - Historical Context
Lesson 3 - Stave One
Lesson 4 - Stave One
Lesson 5 - Marley’s Ghost
Lesson 6 - Marley’s Message
Lesson 7 - The Ghost of Christmas Past

An introductory lesson to Darkside by Tom Becker that focuses on narrative hooks and how Becker introduces his protagonist in the first chapter. Students also create their own PETAZL analytical paragraphs and peer assess each other’s work based on strict success criteria. Designed for KS3 students but the resources on narrative hooks can easily be adapted for KS4 and other year groups.
In this lesson on Darren Shan’s Cirque du Freak, we focus on Chapter One and developing some context around the idea of freaks and how we might perceive ‘freaks’ now. We move on to analysing Chapter One and explaining the presentation of Darren as a character and the impact of the language in the final two sentences. Designed for KS3 students but with a number of activities that could easily be adapted for older students.
A very detailed Science Fiction 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 very detailed Christmas unseen poetry lesson that looks at a festive poem and helps students to break down the processes of analysing a poem independently so they build up their analytical skills for looking at new and unseen poems in exam conditions. Fully differentiated throughout.
As we finish A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and explore the second half of Stave Four, we look at how the death of Tiny Tim impacts on the Cratchits and how Scrooge reacts to seeing his own gravestone. We explore key quotes, key themes and evaluate as writers what kind of ending we would choose for the text and Stave Four. A very detailed, engaging and differentiated lesson.
