Students complete 5 of the random questions at the start of each lesson.
This allows for students to cover basics in grammar, punctuation, word class, vocabulary and terminology.
A table map I used to help students develop their responses to a literature text in order to move their responses up. Can be adapted for any text/question.

This set of lessons is taken from the full KS3 Chaucer Tales scheme which can be found in my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/reaton290. However, these 6 lessons could be used as a mini scheme to introduce KS3 students to the history of the English Language.
This scheme contains:
- Visually interactive PPTs, differentiated for a high and low ability class
- A key word at the start of each lesson with clear learning objectives
- A series of tasks that are challenging and expose students to texts that link to British heritage, as per the new curriculum
- Articles that are modern and relevant, and could be adapted to suit the needs of year 9 students starting the new GCSE course
- A range of activities that suit visual, audial and kinaesthetic learners
- Opportunity for extended writing pieces
This revision booklet caters for the new specification.
It includes:
- Key quotation pages for students to revise their own quotes
- Character profiles for students to complete
- Literary devices/techniques recap pages
- Model responses
- An exemplar question with a possible essay structure for students to attempt
This bundle contains key extracts from the novel that are scaffolded to allow students to concentrate on language, context and inference.

A pack I have put together for GCSE students studying for the new 2017 exam that is closed book.
Explores key characters, key quotes, writer's techniques, exam questions. This resource can be adapted for any text or any exam board. This resource is meant to encourage students to revise.
I created this lesson for my year 8 class and they used the text to analyse their own thoughts and feelings for Frankenstein's creation. They then used the evidence they had collected this lesson to form a debate the lesson after.
This lesson explores Shakespeare's forms as it looks at his other sonnets and their structure. A challenging lesson but allows students to focus on form and structure as well as language, which will move them into the top band of the mark scheme. Students then analyse the language in the prologue and construct their own GCSE style question before attempting to answer.
