GCSE Literature: (7) ‘Lord of the Flies’ – Assessment 1 – Guided Essay Writing

(0)
William Golding’s enduring classic ‘Lord of the Flies’ is an essential text, detailing the story of a group of young boys shipwrecked on an uninhabited island. With the absence of law and order, and parental authority, chaos and tragedy unfolds. I have taught this text many times in the last twenty years and have used this specific resource (revised in 2021) to: lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning resource in SKYPE lessons, as a homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students. This dynamically presented PowerPoint lesson (26 slides, approximately 2 hours teaching time) provides a step-by-step guide to writing an academic essay in response to the question: ‘Why have some literary critics commented that Golding’s main themes present a tragic lack of hope for mankind, or that evil is a self-destructive inborn trait of mankind?’ This is a complete resource with no further work required from the teacher. Enjoy!

Ibsen’s ‘Doll’s House’ is structured into three long acts.

This power point presentation is beautifully illustrated and detailed, and very engaging for the students. It includes a starter activity, summary and analysis questions, an academic writing task, an extension task and a plenary. I have used this particular resource successfully in my own class as a teaching resource (obviously), as a revision material and also as a homework.

This dynamic 18 slide PowerPoint lesson includes a starter activity, summary and analysis questions, an academic writing task, a theme tracking task, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary. This is a complete resource with no additional work required from the teacher. Enjoy!
