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.

This is a fun lesson, especially if you can spread it across a few rooms where you put up posters of the texts for students to read. Print out lots of extracts from various texts and send students round to read them and steal bits. They then re-work what they’ve stolen along with their own ideas into something new.

This 29 minute recording gives detailed annotation on ‘My Last Duchess’. It is geared to AQA GCSE conflict cluster but will also work for general study of the poem.
Lesson on prose structural features: NESTS

Lesson on prose structural features: NESTS

(0)
This is my mnemonic for prose structural features - NESTS This lesson and the table that goes with it explain sentence types, narrative voices, 5 act structure, event order and time phrases. It’s pretty dry as an actual lesson but it’s got lots of very useful information in a condensed and clear format.

This scheme of work covers the top bits of Romeo and Juliet and gives an overview about courtly love vs the reality. It’s only 8 lessons though, so misses a few bits out. Great as a gap-filler.
