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 great scheme of work that I’ve refined over the years I’ve taught A Streetcar Named Desire. It has roughly one lesson per scene although I don’t seem to have a lesson for the final scene - by that time I think students know what they’re doing! This bundle includes my very detailed and comprehensive notes on plastic theatre in each scene as well as links to music recordings.

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.
