These are the first 18 lessons of a scheme of work that I created last year for DNA by Dennis Kelly. It is aimed at a year 9 class, as the idea is that I am starting to prepare them for GCSE Literature. Therefore, the scheme is a mix of analysis and playing with the text too. I've used a variety of ideas to teach it. All lessons are complete lessons in themselves but you may wish to adapt / cut apart and mix them up, especially if you want to use for GCSE. The remaining lessons will also be uploaded under the same heading

This is a small tutorial that introduces some poems and explains why we fall silent at 11am. It is being used in all forms across the school, prior to our 11am silence.

It's National Immunisation day on the 10th of November. So, here, I&'ve put together some information on Jenner and then added a whole class quiz for the whole form to take part in. I&';m going to start doing these for form time on all special days so look out for them.

Lesson planned for mixed ability class to demonstrate cooperative learning in practice and teaching the PLTs. Aimed at showcasing outstanding teaching and learning. Resources are attached at the bottom.

Quiz for a starter when teaching the themes of the novel.

General news quiz designed for form time fun... using Mike Dean's format again. If you like it / use it, please do rate it so that more have access to it. It has a very short shelf life!

Again, using Mike Dean's format but it is all done and ready for next week. If you like it, please rate it.

I can't take full credit for this - as I have used Mike Dean&'s template and added my own questions - However, it still took an hour, so I hope it can be used by others.

This is a selection of lessons on the above title. They are quite old now and I found them on an old drive. Looking at them, there are still some good worksheets and some good links so they will make a springboard for further planning... but I think you'd want to adapt them, they&'re not ready to teach and need some updating! I no longer teach history at GCSE, so I thought I would share to see if they can help others.

This is another one of my older schemes, so it will probably only act as a springboard for other people to design a scheme around it. There are 7 lessons that have been slightly differentiated for upper and lower band and both lessons are here, with resources - some of which are included in the PPs and some are separate. Please don't be too harsh with reviews... they will need some adapting to teach today but it isn&'t a scheme I&';ve rewritten yet!

This is a series of lessons and the overview with the assessment on Racism.
