She Walks in Beauty by Lord Byron

This powerpoint includes detailed contextual information linked to the text. Close analysis of language, form and structure through both ‘given slides’ and task driven learning. This resource also includes a non fiction reading extract for additional background on the use of the word ‘Raven’ so comprises elements of the skills required in the English Language exam. This lesson would work well as an introduction to the poem and a revision lesson. Challenge tasks are threaded throughout. The lesson ends with a ‘comparison quiz’ and revision challenge task.

20th/21st Century Non Fiction: Synthesis question

(0)
This lesson uses a paper thematically linked to 'Space' and takes students through a series of leading questions in order to help them break down the methods they can use to approach this final question on the Non Fiction paper. It also includes reference to PALS as a method of talking about authors ideas and perspectives. My year 11 group found this lesson enormously clarifying as a revision lesson.

This resource examples how audiences assume a 'Collective Identity' through a range of images to prompt discussion before then exploring the Critical Debate 'Whatever I say I am' . The lesson concludes with an essay question, peer assessment and DIRT style homework task to build on learning and independent research for this Case Study. This is an excellent lesson for students who need that extra leg up on this more challenging Case Study.
Macbeth Revision Quiz
The_English_TutorThe_English_Tutor

Macbeth Revision Quiz

(0)
This is so much more than a quiz, it asks questions but also answers them in detail, using PEE paragraphs, full explanations and text references. The questions include challenges relating to language, structure and context and conclude with a 'big question' before offering guidance on how to respond to the question (which links to some of the prior questions) and essentially a homework task. This powerpoint is heavily differentiated using images and bonus questions to support and stretch. If a student has not 'got' this text, this powerpoint should go a long way to filling gaps. If you find this useful please do leave a review. If interested in a marking service for the resulting essays please contact me on Twitter @jomarsh1 as this is also available, subject to demand. Finally, my other resources on Macbeth can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/macbeth-act-1-11561879 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/macbeth-act-2-11562280 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/macbeth-act-3-11566639 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/macbeth-act-4-11567137 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/macbeth-act-5-11567257 https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/macbeth-the-whole-play-11567264 3
