This resource is for use when preparing students for the English Literature Component 1, Section A (extract question) section of the exam. I have used this with my Y10 set 4 (of 6) and it covered 3 lessons. This may vary depending on your class. The section for analysis is from Act 3, Scene 1 (lines 85-116) and the question asks students to explore the way Mercutio and Romeo speak and behave in these lines. The resource includes: - starter activity matching scientific facts about Mercury to Mercutio; - a list of adjectives linked with the adjective mercurial - students to find where Mercutio has displayed these traits in the play; - watching the Zeffirelli version of Act 3 Scene 1 (you'll need to source the clip: youtube or DVD) - assessment objectives and a breakdown of how to achieve them; - question and how to approach answering it; -PEA grids filled out with quotations (edible); -how to write up an extract question response; -exam tips and hints; -model paragraph. I hope it's useful to you. I'll be adding more of this type of resource as I've used them. Please leave feedback if you choose to purchase, thanks!

This complete resource contains 4-5 lessons worth of preparation work, preparing a narrative that students should be able to adapt/tweak in an exam to fit with unseen titles. The activities included are as follows: - opportunity to create a class success criteria for writing an excellent narrative; - a choice of two different ways of planning their narrative; - a variety of punctuation starters: semi-colons, colons, dashes, brackets and ellipses; - sentence structure (examples of the three types of sentence) and an activity to make students consider how to vary the starts of their sentences; - some peer marking, with specific things to identify; - for weaker students there is a 'checklist' of different elements of writing to include in each of their sections of narrative; - a drama starter activity, before they write their 'main' section of the narrative; - writing time; - mark-scheme & banding at the end of the PPT. There is a 'said is dead' slide, alternatives for replacing 'said' when using direct speech. This could be printed and used as a table-top help card or printed and stuck into exercise books for reference. I've created a 'WOW words' slide that could be used as a group starter activity or completed for homework. In addition to this, there are a couple of slides at the start, which I have used with my students. We revisited their previous narrative, written in exam conditions in a mock. The aim was to show them how by preparing a narrative, they should be able to tweak it and adapt them to suit the unseen titles they'll face in their real exam. These slides may be useful to you when you come to revisit their mock attempt (if not, you can delete!). I've also added a couple of suggestions in the 'notes' section on the PPT slides. I've used it with a Y10 set on the new specification, they seemed to enjoy it and produced encouraging work!

A quick starter activity for a lesson on a transition day to find out a little information about new students. There's a push on extra-curricular in our school for next year, so that why there's a space for what clubs they attend at primary school and what new opportunities they'd like at high school. This is our way of finding out, so we can plan ahead! Editable for your own needs.

A set of approximately 12 lessons for use with the reading of 'Storm Catchers' by Tim Bowler.

PPT identifies key reminders about Romeo's character & outlines all the key scenes Romeo appears in. I got my students to create a poster presentation based on one of the acts and then their small group presented their poster of analysis for that act back to the rest of the class. Suggested things to cover on their poster include: personal impressions of Romeo, key quotations, any patterns of behaviour or changes in behaviour, relationships with other characters. Once all groups had presented their poster (ensuring all groups had covered all the named acts & scenes) I photocopied their work so each child had analysis of Romeo across the whole play. This activity could be easily replicated for other characters. I encouraged them to be as creative as possible - lots of coloured paper, sticking bits on, creating wordles etc. My class liked a bit of creativity after the heavy going of mock exam prep!

I've included model examples in the table and another as a paragraph of analysis.
