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.

Tell the whole story of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night in a Whoosh! I’ve condensed the essential parts of the story into an easy-to-follow lesson where everyone needs to get involved.

In this lesson the second generation and what happens to them is examined. There’s a focus on revising the family structure and how Hareton partly mirrors Heathcliff. There’s also an essay question.

Second lesson in SoW on Wuthering Heights for Edexcel A Level. This one features family trees and character research activities, as well as a link to the popular song of the same name and all the dance moves. Lots of useful links to resources at the british Library website also featured.

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!

A whole term’s lessons and resources for teaching ‘Wuthering Heights’ at A Level. These lessons are designed to be used specifically for the Edexcel syllabus with ‘Mrs Dalloway’ as the comparison text but most of what is included in the lessons is a general and comprehensive resource for teaching ‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Bronte. As I can only include 20 items in a bundle, please look for the free lessons on education and illness in my shop to complete the set. I’ve used this SoW to teach the text for several years very successfully.

This very long lesson / 2 lessons includes lots of examples of the kinds of literature which existed before novels. It aims to show students quite how dull most literature was and why the conditions arose for the birth and growth of the novel as a genre. It’s pretty context heavy and perhaps a bit dry unless you get students to come and read out some of the pre-novel literature reproduced on the slides - pompous and long winded speeches, religious tracts, sermons to young women on how they should behave, religious poetry, translations of the Classics etc etc. By contrast, novels seem modern, insightful and emotionally mature. I’ve put suggestions in the ‘notes’ section of each slide.
