‘Never Let Me Go’ by Kazuo Ishiguro explores an enduring love that battles a hopeless situation. Using the canvas of cloning, Ishiguro explores the moral, spiritual and legal debates connected to the creation of life. In our fractured post-modern world, this text remains both significant and essential. I have taught this text a number of times in recent years, and have used this specific resource to lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning resource (SKYPE Lessons), as a homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students. This dynamically illustrated PowerPoint lesson (20 slides) includes: a starter activity, summary and analysis questions, an academic writing task, a theme tracking task, an extension task connected to advanced vocabulary, a homework assignment and a plenary (approximately 2 hours teaching time). This is a complete resource with no further work required from the teacher. Enjoy!

GCSE to A Level Transition: Poetry Analysis

(0)
The academic jump between GCSE and A level is significant. Often there isn’t a transition program or materials in place, and some students struggle. I have created an ever-growing set of materials to compensate for this skill’s gap and students have found these materials incredibly helpful. I have used these materials after students have completed their GCSEs and indicated that they are planning to move onto ‘A’ level, as homework assignments and even as tools of revision. All have worked well for the students. This power point lesson focuses on ´poetry analysis´ – this is essential knowledge. Through a series of structured exercises: the students explore content, language and structure - and adopt these observations into their academic writing. Colourful and interactive, I have received good feedback on this lesson. This is a complete resource. Enjoy.
