A continuation of my SOW on Hamlet for KS3 students. Best taught as a precursor to Macbeth or R&J at KS4.

This is a comprehensive study of Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’. The scheme of work has been created with the aim of introducing KS3 students to the tragedy genre in preparation for studying ‘Macbeth’ at KS4. The scheme of work takes students and teachers through the whole play, studying each scene and making links to other set texts at KS4 and KS5 such as Macbeth, Othello and A Christmas Carol. There is a lesson on every scene. Each lesson sets knowledge goals and introduces key vocabulary needed to achieve the highest grades when studying Shakespeare at KS4.

A useful lesson for revision. I have included the original annotations produced by my year 11 class as these might be helpful but they can easily be deleted for use with your own class.

Ideal for students in years 7, 8 or 9 studying The Book Thief. Full scheme of work on a beautiful novel. major emphasis placed on learning new vocabulary.

Full scheme of work for KS4 including the whole play fully annotated.

This is a quick annotation lesson helping students analyse the impact of setting in the novella. I have included preprepared annotations but these can be deleted by the teacher or used in discussion following whole-class guided annotations.
