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.

It is a series of lessons that tracks students through creating atmosphere, a wide shoot and movement to specific objects/people, using picture stimulus. It has a gothic theme that runs throughout the lessons and allows for students to draft and re-draft work to see how to change and improve their creative writing. Aimed at middle ability groups.

This is a series of 4-5 lessons that explore 3 of Shakespeare's sonnets (1 for homework) as a way to introduce Y7 to analysis for Shakespeare in a light hearted and quirky way. The scheme starts with a comparison between Shakespeare and Justin Beiber lyrics as way to explore the commonalties in language of love. It then progresses to analysing sonnets 116 and 104. The lessons finish with students working in groups to create their own sonnets, using images and words as challenge stimulus. The resource also includes a homework investigation that can be done as a lesson or as a project to then be presented in a Shakespeare market place as another lesson led by the students.
