This powerpoint covers the latter chapters of Book 1 of this new GCSE text. The powerpoint contains a number of engaging activities to ensure full comprehension of the text as you read and activities to begin to construct revision pages on the themes contained in this text. It also includes a 9-1 exam style 'exploding question' in which extract skills are taught in a supported way before setting up a full essay question.

An engaging lesson that includes a range of activities including: clozed activities, quotation finding, creative response, oral discussions and close textual analysis. Further resource and bundles to follow on the rest of the novel.

This resource includes a systematic example of how to analyse language in an extract with supported tasks and exemplar responses. It also includes comprehension questions, character analysis and prompts to consider the themes of fear, entrapment and being hunted alongside overarching structural observations of this text. Book 1 resources already available as a bundle, Book 2 will be released shortly...if interested follow me...

This resource offers a thorough exploration of this IGCSE poem by Peter Reading. The activities are highly varied and inclusive, whilst also offering plenty of challenge for the more able students. This lesson includes literacy tasks, arty tasks, independent and group tasks plus a clear guide as to how to achieve the range of grades prior to closing with an exemplar assessment task. This lesson, whilst prepared with the Cambridge International specifications (English Literature and World Literature 2022 onwards) in mind, would make a perfectly engaging lesson for KS3 students just setting out on their GCSE style poetry as it includes clear terminology, explained and applied and exemplar sentence starters as a guide as to how to ‘start an analytical response’.

With few revision papers available for use this is another 19th Century Fiction Paper based on the novel 'Lost Hearts' by M R James. the resource includes a mark scheme and indicative content. This extract is a ghostly tale and a good one to use for analysis of tension/setting rather than characterisation. This is a very accessible paper and would be useful practise for both KS3 students doing a 'Supernatural' Unit of work or for KS4 lower ability to build confidence.

A complete analysis of language, form and structure including indications for content according to grades and challenge tasks. This lesson is engaging, whilst also developing inquiry and independent learners. This is everything you need to teach this poem.

The resource includes challenge tasks, language, form and structure analysis, dramatic tasks, recreations of scene, engaging use of ICT and nods to including Maths in the English curriculum.

This resource introduces students to a range of language and structural devices required in their Edexcel IGCSE examination, however, this resource is also suited for any teachers looking for an extract on which to practise these skills. Learning is scaffolded through analysis of short phrases and sections from the whole extract to enable students to feel secure in their GCSE level analysis. This resource includes a powerpoint and a homework task so that learning can go beyond the classroom. The tasks are designed so that students gain confidence before attempting individual tasks and the lesson includes talk time and time when students can annotate the text on the whiteboard if you have this facility. My students find these resources hugely helpful in accessing higher grades and have historically done very well in their final exams, approaching them with confidence and a wide range of understanding in regard to methods used. Students are continually prompted to update their records and recall methods to help embed this information in their long term memory. The full extract is not included, however, if you should need this please do ask and I can email the full anthology to you, it is also available on the Edexcel website. I hope you enjoy this as much as my students have and do.
