This scheme of learning is for the novel 'MacB' by Neil Arksy based on Shakespeare's Macebeth. I have all the resources to accompany attached.
This scheme has been used for KS3 class so it is challenging and explores extracts from the original as well as other texts such as Anne Frank.
Most worksheets are differentiated.
This scheme has been planned to introduce KS3 students to Chaucer and The Canterbury Tales. This is important as students need to experience texts from different time eras in order to prepare them for the new GCSE specification.
This part of the scheme includes full PPT lessons and all accompanying resources. In this part, the students will look at the following:
• Who was Chaucer? What is a pilgrimage? Discuss modern pilgrimage. Introduce Canterbury tales and pilgrim characters. Discuss class and stereotypes and examine quotations from the general prologue that discuss certain characters.
• Introduce the start of the general prologue of The Canterbury Tales – link back to language of ME. Look at purpose of a prologue. Students work to sort prologue using original version to scaffold. Understand what the story is about and demonstrate through an ‘explain what you learn…’ question and then create a reworded version of the prologue.
• Introduce description of the Knight (from general prologue). LA to look at modern translation and HA to look at original (alongside translation). Look at where in the class hierarchy he would fall.
• What is your impression of the Knight? Discuss quotations (translated for LA) and scaffold an Impressions Q.

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCq6117mYqg (animated tales for LA)
• Compare the two - discuss how to compare texts and offer writing frame focusing on physical attributions and how their characters are portrayed.
• Summarise the type of people Chaucer portrayed and why the tales are still looked at today – do they challenge our own stereotypes or teach us not to judge?
• Students create their own pilgrim. Reintroduce the idea of class and class stereotypes. Mindmap physical features and qualities their pilgrim will have and how physical qualities match with stereotype/class.
• Develop a description of your own Pilgrim that would fit into the general prologue – use checklist of the techniques/devices Chaucer uses in his own descriptions as a guideline.
