This is a scheme I developed for my Y12 studying AQA Spec A for Love Through The Ages. It is designed for Paper 2 Section B of the AS examination but can easily be adapted as a single novel study for any exam board. There are around 15-16 lessons worth of activities and they have been designed with the idea that students will have read the novel before hand. I have also included some learning grids with quotations for themes and settings that are great tools for revision.

This is a short scheme (6-8 lessons) that is designed to support students through the new AQA GCSE Paper 1 Section A (Reading). It focuses on 3 key assessment objectives (AO1,2&4), practising the skills of quotation selection, language and structure analysis and, evaluating a text. I have used texts from the AQA support resource booklet for source materials (available to download from the AQA website.)

Activities linking to language analysis of the novel.

A lesson that breaks down how to best use their time to answer the Shakespeare question in the Literature exam. There are also two examples of mock exam questions for students to practice and a simple revision task that allows students to collect and analyse quotations.

This is a unit of work designed with Y7 in mind, as a resource to guide reading of the Hunger Games. It mirrors the skills needed for GCSE Paper 1 Creative Reading. The scheme only goes up to the first half of the novel but lots of the lessons can be repeated and adapted for the remainder of the novel (71 slides). There is also a home learning grid attached with the scheme to support students in their reading skills outside the classroom.

This is a short unit of work, designed with Year 8 in mind, to introduce the skills needed for GCSE Language Paper 2 Section B. It begins with lots of discussion tasks, around various topics such as social media, the news and education for students to develop their argument skills verbally, before committing to paper. There is also a strong literacy focus with this unit. Middle ability suitability for this scheme. Easy differentiated for higher or lower abilities.

This is a small unit of work covering the skills required to approach the unseen element of AQA Literature A, Paper 2B. It has been designed to go alongside the extracts provided by AQA on their website under teaching resources. (I have not included a copy as they are free to download). It covers at least 5 extracts. The unit is methodical in its approach with a focus on breaking down and addressing the skills in the exam question and how to apply analysis of specific narrative styles and structures, and it was designed with a small class in mind. All images used in the resource have been found and are attributed to a Google search.

This is a scheme designed for the new 2017 GCSE spec for AQA reading paper 1. The scheme has broken down the 4 main questions in the reading section of this particular exam paper and supports students with the key skills for each question type. I have attached some extracts to help with the scheme and it makes reference to some pages from the AQA textbook. This scheme was designed with Y9 in mind or as an introduction for students starting the new GCSE course and is easily adaptable for any extracts or mock exams provided by AQA on their website. It should fill at least 6 weeks worth of teaching, including an assessment at the end, depending on lesson allocation.

This is a 20 lesson scheme of work that supports the reading and analysis of AIC for GCSE. The scheme is designed with AQA Literature Paper 2 in mind but the skills are easily adaptable to other exam boards. The word document outlines the lesson by lesson set of activities with ideas and suggestions on how to vary the delivery of the task. It focuses largely on A02 (close text analysis of language and staging.) The power point supports the scheme and should line up with the order of the lessons. I have not included contextual aspects of the play as part of the scheme, but I have attached a research flip learning activity to guide students on how to explore these AO3 elements.
