Three lessons on the topic of informal letter writing. This was intended for CIE IGCSE English as a Second Language question 6, but could be used also with KS3. 1. Generating ideas - four different routes into coming up with ideas for letter writing (PPT) 2. Formal/informal language with a variety of activities and model answers (PPT) 3. Peer assessment (PPT) This also comes with a success criteria based on the CIE mark scheme.

This is a unit of work aimed at the CIE English as a First Language GCSE spec. It could be adapted for other specifications, especially for creative writing. Simply remove the CIE question and insert your own prompt, using my stimulus text too if you choose. This unit took me around five weeks to teach. Each powerpoint took around 3.5 hours on average to cover in class (including discussion time, time to write and give feedback, etc). Differentiated for ESL/EAL learners with key vocabulary, word of the day and prereading homeworks. It covers letter writing, interview writing and diary writing for question 1. Mock CIE style assessments are also included to support this, along with annotated inserts. It also has a lesson for writing a dystopian story for the coursework unit. The scheme also covers using language devices in creative writing and analysis of film, looking at the opening scenes of The Hunger Games film. Included are: one full unit plan, seven ppts, two homework tasks, three mock Q1s based on the novel, and an example planning sheet.

This is my whole year’s worth of lessons that I used to teach CIE 0500 First Language English IGCSE to Chinese EAL students. I organised the files by topic, so it’s not chronological, as you can dip in to whichever section your class most needs. I also included my Forms quizzes, starter booklet with short answer practices and revision materials, including a link to my one hour video lesson for question 3. All the folders, files, worksheets etc, in the preview video are included. I put each folder into a zip file so that everything would stay organised. Included: Question 1 - Summaries: lessons going over paraphrasing techniques with a model answer and tips Question 2 - Language analysis: many lessons on this, including one on the song Blowin’ in the Wind and many from past exams. I also made a PowerPoint in which I go over common effects that I found when going over past papers (in the revision folder). Question 3 - Extended response: lessons for the major text types, speeches, newspaper, magazine, interview, diary and letter. Exam tips for approaching this question. Includes engaging material such as Harvey Milk and JFK speeches. Narrative writing - tips and tricks, going over plot structure and climax, looking at engaging openings. Descriptive writing - tips and tricks, exemplar, lesson on extended metaphors and developing a range of imagery. Evaluative response - PPT and resources to give a rebuttal to an article about school uniforms with a plan included. Six Forms quizzes (mostly self marking) which offer short answer question practice Starter booklet for short answer questions My video lesson for Q3 is included as a link in the revision folder Student friendly overview of the course **Please note that I planned this for the coursework element, but both coursework and Paper 2 need the same text types being taught with near-identical mark schemes: narrative writing, descriptive writing and the response to text. **Therefore I think that this resources is equally as valuable to everyone doing both assessed and coursework routes - but with exam route, of course you’d also want to give students some exam practices after teaching the skills in my lessons.

Six units, which took me about 6 months to teach, for academic writing for KS4/KS5 students on researching, gathering data and writing up a research report.
