The second instalment designed to introduce pupils to the more archaic vocabulary that they will find in pre-1914 novels. Can be used as definition or spelling tests or both. Each week is linked by a theme which isn't revealed till the test - this allows pupils to guess the theme, introducing an element of competition. This set of 8 weeks also includes a Christmassy week!

Assessment sheets which allow quick feedback to pupils. This set of sheets includes reading feedback (based on PEA/CE writing structure) for the novel, Shakespeare and poetry and writing feedback based around the old National Curriculum standards. As most schools have now developed their own levelling system any sheets that previously included the NC numbers have been included both in the NC format and in a format with blank space to write in new levelling numbers or letters - whatever you've gone for :)
Macbeth 1:1 - Watching and directing the witches

Macbeth 1:1 - Watching and directing the witches

(0)
This could be used as 1 or 2 lessons. The first section involves watching and discussing existing versions of the scene (unfortunately I could not attach these for copyright reasons but there is space for you to add hyperlinks if you so choose) and then students can make their own scene choices on a worksheet. The second section involves group work speaking and listening - there is a slide with the NC levels and an extra left blank for you to add your own school's levelling system. Please note the worksheet is available free of charge from my shop. (Great deal huh? Two lessons and a worksheet - bargain!)

This scheme is aimed at lower ability GCSE sets. It tackles the novella from an exam practice based approach - pupils are encouraged to find their own quotes at every step of the SOW. There are 14 lessons in total (some of which can be set as homework depending on time restraints) and any necessary hand-outs. Graphics and planning are purposefully not very Christmas based so that the scheme can be taught at any time of year.
