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.

Free taster lesson on the opening of Heart of Darkness

(0)
Here’s a first lesson based on the opening of Heart of Darkness. It starts with a freewriate based on word from the beginning of the novel, then asks students to consider the context and ends with reflection on how the freewriting helped to understand those first pages. The rest of my scheme of work is available on TES.

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.

A Level lesson on Emily Bronte’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ with a focus on illness. Context, research, Bronte family illness and the way that physical and mental health are presented in the novel are covered. There are also some suggested links in one slide to ‘Mrs Dalloway’, which is a potential comparative text on the Edexcel prose paper.

This lesson uses the way women are portrayed in Vistorian art as well as Coventry Patmore’s poem ‘The Angel in the House’ to give some background to the way modern readers encounter portrayals of women in literature. This is part of my mini scheme of work on ‘The Story of an Hour’

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.
