This is a lesson that I have used with my Year 7 to practise using the main punctuation marks and including them more systematically in their writing. The lesson includes references and names from Stevenson’s novel Kidnapped.
Feedback is always greatly appreciated.
Here’s a whole week of lessons designed to kill two birds with one stone: study Jekyll & Hyde whilst also preparing the class for a Language Paper 1 assessment.

Here is a lesson I have put together for my year 7 (although it can be used for all Key Stage 3)
It is about slowly building confidence and skills to write a compelling descriptive piece. Use the spinning wheel to write out a paragraph together as a class, then spin it again for independent writing.
Just a little creative writing activity I have put together based on Jekyll’s letter to Lanyon in Chapter 9. A dramatic reading of the letters should help make the lesson even more light-hearted.
This is a lesson I have put together to introduce and explore the Prince of Morocco’s character (using Disney’s “Aladdin” a lot).
There is also some vocabulary building task.
This is a lesson that was very successful with my KS4 to set expectations for their literature exam answers.
They came out feeling more confident with the task and what to improve in their own writing to achieve a higher level.
This is a lesson I put together on a Machiavellian reading of Macbeth.
There is a video embedded and a differentiated written task.
