Entire Scheme of Work! Ready to use! Worksheets and powerpoints to accompany Coraline Book to film SOW. Takes the students through reading the book and watching the film, with two written and one Speaking & Listening assessment- a persuasive speech, an informative presentation and a film review. I made this in my NQT year and it is the first resource I've uploaded to the site, so please comment!

This is a lesson examining the Princes speech in Act 1 Scene 1, looking at the issue of his power-or lack of it. It was made for my very low ability year 10 group, mostly predicted Ds and Es, with a few C grades, so there is an extension task too.

This is just a quick lesson that looks at the links between the last ghost and death. Focus here is on the fear factor of the ghost, which could easily be linked to the fear of death but also the fear of an uncertain future. Please review and comment on how it could be improved if needed

A lesson for lower ability year 10 students to introduce them to Human Interest.

Suited to KS2 or low ability Year 7. Looks at the conventions of a fairy tale, using Baba Yaga stories. Includes link to animated version of Baba Yaga and Vasilisa the Fair. I used this as a build up to an assessment where students had to complete a fairy tale having been given an opening

For some reason this didn't upload last time so have re uploaded. This takes the class from reading the book to comparing it to the film version. Handouts and PowerPoint are available here: http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Coraline-Book-to-Film-Handouts-6066062/

An alternative approah to Chapter three, focusing on the practice of Foot binding.

A Woosh for the Christmas Carol, with a few key quotes identified. Wrote this with GCSE students in mind.

This is a simple resource looking at the Lit question for Christmas Carol. The focus is on how to tackle the first bullet point, referring back to the extract provided. First students start with an example to work through together, using the description of the Ghost of Christmas Present, picking out key word. Then they read through the description of the dance The Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge to, Finally there is a market place activity leading up to the writing of an essay. Teachers may wish to extend this over two lessons.

SOW and the first lesson in a short SOW on the Necklace. Should last about two weeks. First lesson looks at the background and introduces the students to the Historical and Social Context

A lesson looking at the first few paragraphs of a Christmas Carol, focusing on how Dickens describes Scrooge

This lesson assumes you have left time for the students to read chapter 12 previously. It looks at Calpurnia and the children's visit to the church. There is an option for discussion about how developed Calpurnia is as a character.

Looks at the roles of men and women and gives students an opportunity to think of gender conventions and explore the connotations of masculine and feminine words.

This resource was made with a VERY low ability, Year 11 group in mind. You will need a copy of the Gladiator DVD, or you can easily find the relative clip on Youtube.

A PowerPoint to help students plan a presentation on evil people/deeds. It also gives a very simplified idea of how to create a bibliography.

This presentation looks at the opening scene of Macbeth. In the comments, there is a link to a great Youtube video that compares three versions of the opening scene. Three slides ask questions about the impact of these presentations and get the students to think about how this contributes to the presentations of the witches overall.
