Lucy's English lessons

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.

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!
