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.

This lesson gives a choice of writing tasks and works through good things to include and common mistakes to avoid for creative writing. There’s a bit about how to use colons, avoiding comma splices, tense confusion and cliches. Could be used as an independent lesson or taught.
Keats context notes - arranged by poem

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.

There is lots of useful context throughout these lessons, putting it between the poems in the order in which they were written. The general tone presumes that the students and teacher can work out what the poems mean but suggests themes and allusions to Keats’ letters and journal which help to illuminate the poems. This bundle includes lessons on most of the poems in the Edexcel A Level selection (not Autumn or Melancholy though): O solitude On first looking into Chapman’s Homer On the Sea In Drear Nighted December On sitting down to read King Lear once again When I have fears that I may cease to be The Eve of St Agnes To Sleep Bright Star Psyche Ode on a Grecian Urn Ode to a Nightingale I also drew a lovely time-line which I hope you enjoy. By a quirk of my own idiocy, there is no lesson 5 - don’t worry, it’s not missing!
