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.

Scheme of work on Twelfth Night

Sixteen lessons on Shakespeare’s play Twelfth Night. I’ve taught this with year 9 students but could also work with yr 7 & 8. Quite a few lessons contain links to youtube so I hope they continue to work… Lots of lovely activities to stimulate analytical, creative and drama activities.

L10 Keats exam technique

This lesson focuses on writing essays on Keats in the Edexcel English A Level exam. It includes planning tips, mark schemes, suggestions about essay structure, using a line of argument, including context, and exemplars from the exam board with the examiner’s report about them. It’s big, hence the price!

I worked really hard to write these lessons and then the exam board took the poem off the syllabus! So, here they are for free for now, just in case anyone teaches them for some other exam board.

L11 the recycling room

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.
