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.

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 2 lessons. This may vary depending on your class. The section for analysis is from Act 3, Scene 5 (lines 141-159) and explores some of the argument between Capulet and Juliet. The resource covers how to approach an extract question, putting it into context, annotations (whole class and paired) then completing a table of analysis, before writing their answer up in 20 minutes. I've included model examples in the table and another as a paragraph of analysis. I've have included a breakdown of the assessment objectives (AO1 and AO2) and a brief markscheme with 'Band 5' and 'Band 3' criteria, that links to each AO. There is a slide with exam reminders at the end. You will need to source the extract. Hope it's useful! I'll be adding more of this type of resource as I've used them. Please leave feedback if you choose to purchase, thanks!

It covers first impressions, opportunities for detailed language/poetic technique analysis, discussion and analysis about tone, structure, themes and context. Homework and revision opportunities are also built in. One of the activities on structure, makes comparisons between this poem and 'Living Space' by Imtiaz Dharker.

This is a series of lessons guiding a mid-low ability Y7 class through writing to persuade. I have used it to assess for writing AF1, 3. 7 & 8. There is also work for a Speaking and Listening assessment (AF1). The worksheets are not my own, but my class found them useful! If you find this resource useful, please leave me feedback :)

I created these resources to introduce my low ability Y10 to narrative writing in preparation for their first and third person writing for WJEC. It could be used for high ability Y9 too. They really enjoy the first lesson with the receipts; I asked in about in the staffroom for unwanted supermarket receipts, alternatively just collect yourself a few and photocopy them instead of giving each child a different receipt. Feel free to use & adapt, comments would be appreciated :)

A Powerpoint guiding students through writing about two unseen poems in the Literature exam. The poems are in the word document which I've used from a resource posted by TES English. Useful as a revision/intervention activity also.

A lesson focusing on writing a review of a restaurant. It has group/independent work and lots of peer & self assessment opportunities. The worksheet contains the missing words activity and a teacher copy. This could be altered to suit your class. If you find this lesson useful, please leave feedback. Thanks :)

A lesson on how to prepare for writing a formal letter. Exam task included. Used for KS4 exam preparation, this could also be adapted for KS3. You will need to source a poor example of a letter to use for one of the activities: I used some exemplar material from the exam board for this purpose. Please leave feedback if you find it useful.

This resource contains work for a whole lesson (or two) based on writing a report - aimed at KS4 students. Activities include: - reminder of assessment objectives (new spec) and mark schemes; - Discussion of reports, their purpose and who writes/reads them; - Labelling activity for how to format a report; - Correctional exercise (starter) for improving punctuation and formality of sentences; - Mind-mapping class ideas to structure their own writing; - Model paragraphs; -Peer and self-assessment grids. - An additional task has been included at the end for either homework, revision or a in-class timed response that could be peer or teacher-marked. This is tailored to the WJEC/Eduqas mark scheme, assessment objectives could easily be replaced to suit your exam board.

This short powerpoint served me as preparation for a Literature mock exam - it is also useful for revision purposes.
