Lucy's English lessons

Average Rating1.33
(based on 6 reviews)

I write schemes of work for English literature as well as English language and creative writing. My lessons have all been used to teach my classes and have been adapted to work well. I teach in a school which uses its own GCSE-level literature qualification, so I have some lessons on unusual texts. I've also got lessons on many of the Edexcel A Level texts. I've taught AQA, Edexcel GCSE and iGCSE, so have a range of useful resources to share.

Wuthering Heights scheme of work

£25.00Save 31%
20 Resources
A whole term’s lessons and resources for teaching ‘Wuthering Heights’ at A Level. These lessons are designed to be used specifically for the Edexcel syllabus with ‘Mrs Dalloway’ as the comparison text but most of what is included in the lessons is a general and comprehensive resource for teaching ‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Bronte. As I can only include 20 items in a bundle, please look for the free lessons on education and illness in my shop to complete the set. I’ve used this SoW to teach the text for several years very successfully.

Keats context notes - arranged by poem

£5.00
(0)
This powerpoint and the hand-out which duplicates it give students detailed notes about which contextual ideas they should use for each of the poems in exam essays. The powerpoint is designed as a traditional lecture from which students can take notes. Later the teacher can give out the word version so they have full details. I’ve suggested that students take notes from the powerpoint in a way which makes them focus on something specific like - what they didn’t know before or key details, rather than attempting to take detailed notes.
