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 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 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.)

This is a detailed power point resource designed to teach and analyse aspects of the play Othello. The design for the resource is based upon the new AQA A-level. It is a challenging resource set for the most able but there is also option for scaffolding within some of the tasks.

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.

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 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.

A resource designed with the new AQA GCSE Paper 2 Section B in mind. Reference made to the mark scheme and activities guide students through various steps of writing a response piece. Opportunities for students to plan, draft, redraft and assess their non-fiction writing skills for the top band. Enough material for 4-5 lessons.

This is a full scheme of work (25lessons) designed for Y9. It has been created with the new 2017 GCSE Literature in mind. The scheme details activities linked to the main themes and characters in the novel with some power points to support. There is a lesson by lesson break down, along with ample opportunities for differentiation and stretch and challenge for the more able. Lesson 7 requires the teacher to source the materials linked to context. Other lessons that don't have a power point are either assessment lessons or reading lessons. This scheme may also be useful for current Y10 studying the novel for GCSE CA and examination.

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.

Whole scheme of work designed with top set Y10 in mind, but easily adaptable. This tracks students through the key scenes of the play in around 20 lessons in ppt and Ted_ed format. The main focus of this scheme is digging deep and dissecting language and structure. Lots of opportunities for the students to discuss and explore the play independently as well as with teacher guidance. The scheme was designed with students having read the key scenes prior to each lesson in order to focus on the meaning of the play, rather than the reading. There are also 2 example mock exams based on the new spec AQA Literature Paper 1 exam; one embedded in the ppt and the other attached as a different file.
