Jekyll and Hyde comprehension and revision booklet - chapter 10
ajs12345ajs12345

Jekyll and Hyde comprehension and revision booklet - chapter 10

(0)
Developed specifically for the new AQA 9-1 GCSE English Literature specification (yet equally suitable for other examination boards), here is a detailed comprehension work book for Chapter 10 - ‘Henry Jekyll’s full statement of the case’ of Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘Jekyll and Hyde’. This is basically a mini scheme/unit of work in a booklet and would work brilliantly as either revision for your students, independent study work for cover, tutoring and home schooling or for students to actively read the text and consolidate their understanding as they read. Huge range of comprehension questions exploring plot, character, themes, context and writer’s messages and intentions. Questions are in chronological order (in line with events from the text) so very easy to follow and is an ideal teaching tool to ensure students are actively reading and engaging with the text. Ideal preparation for the AQA English Literature qualification as all the Assessment Objectives are covered. Covers everything they need to know for the chapter really. Due to the challenging nature of the source text, I’d say this is more geared towards middle and higher ability students. Resource is absolutely ready to go!

Speech Marks - Punctuation and SPaG lesson
ajs12345ajs12345

Speech Marks - Punctuation and SPaG lesson

(0)
This is a fully resourced lesson about using speech marks (inverted commas). This lesson is also available as part of a scheme of work here. Ideal for KS3 and KS4 students with a fun and light hearted feel. Could also be taught to higher ability KS2 students. Would suit a range of abilities as there is lots of scope for stretch and challenge, with ambitious success criteria and extension tasks built in throughout. Scaffolding and differentiation options are built in where appropriate. Fully resourced and ready to roll, minimal adaptation or tweaking required. This is obviously a SPaG/Punctuation lesson, but it is equally focused on creative/descriptive writing too. Much of the content is therefore ideal for teaching general creative writing skills or preparing for the fiction writing task on the new specification GCSE English exam. I have used an image as stimulus for a creative writing task, in the same format you would expect to see on the 9-1 GCSE There’s at least a lesson’s work here; it usually takes a couple of lessons to get through all the content due to the detailed and structured nature of the writing task.

GCSE English Language Revision - AO1 using quotes/evidence.
ajs12345ajs12345

GCSE English Language Revision - AO1 using quotes/evidence.

(0)
*Updated for 2018* Here I have a lesson on using evidence and quotations in reading responses (AO1 for any AQA teachers out there!) Skills building is a great way to develop your students across all their set texts and for both language and literature. I've found it to work really well as revision in the run up to the exams. I used the short story 'Examination Day' by Henry Slesar as source material and students learn about the following aspects of AO1: * Active reading strategies to find appropriate evidence for use in a response * Making thoughtful and judicious choices when selecting evidence (quotes) * Using embedded quotations * Using quotations from different points in the text within one paragraph(synthesis) * Revising and perfecting the skills at home with the revision worksheet It's all ready to go. Would suit middle and higher ability students and little adaptation is required. This is geared towards the new AQA specification, but would work equally well in preparation for other exam boards as the skills are quite generic. As an AQA examiner, I have tailored this lesson to pinpoint some of the common pitfalls that candidates make in relation to using evidence and quotations in their responses. All fully resourced and ready to go with no adaptation required. I have attached a PDF copy of the short story - though I am not the copyright author for this resource and have attached it purely to facilitate the activities in the lesson. The TES preview function seems to be playing up with some of my resources at present, though I can assure you they will download correctly as I have tested this myself.

OCR GCSE Drama Concept Pro-Forma Guidance Booklet

(6)
Here is a detailed guidance booklet for the OCR 'Presenting and Performing Texts' unit of the GCSE Drama qualification. Having recently had the examiner visit our school for this unit (former chief examiner David Cross I might add!) it was mentioned that the centre's concept pro-formas were particularly strong and effective. I have further updated and improved this booklet based on his feedback, so you can be sure that this has exactly what your visiting examiner will be looking for! This booklet covers all the questions on the concept pro-forma individually. For each question: * Students are given a breakdown of what the question is asking them to do, along with detailed guidance on how best to tackle the question * Top Tips for each question, along with suggested activities they can do to help them successfully prepare for the questions * Detailed exemplars (in this booklet I use DNA as the exemplar text) for each and every question in order to model strong responses. This is everything your students need to successfully tackle the pro-forma and to make the best possible impression with the visiting examiner! Buy in confidence from a TES recommended gold author!

Lesson 1 - Writing with Passion/ Persuasive Techniques. Paper 2 Writing. 9-1 AQA English Language.
ajs12345ajs12345

Lesson 1 - Writing with Passion/ Persuasive Techniques. Paper 2 Writing. 9-1 AQA English Language.

(1)
Full lessons preparing students for the writing task on the new AQA Language paper 2 - writing to present a viewpoint. I am already finding that students' writing is often quite 'pedestrian' and lacking in passion and enthusiasm. These lessons try and access the 'inner voice' the writer in order to guide students to a more passionate and enthusiastic method of writing. The PowerPoint also contains a large bank of exam style 'provocative statements' for you to draw on and use with your students in a number of different ways (creative ideas for how best to use the statements is also included in the PowerPoint). This is ideal for developing persuasive and argumentative skills. Brief breakdown: * Students consider topics they care or are passionate about and create mini speeches around this * Consider what makes a passionate speech and how we can import this into our writing * Introduce students to DARCFOREST - a system of rhetorical techniques students can apply in their own writing (complete with modelled sentences) * Students apply these skills in their own writing * Huge bank of provocative statements as you would find them in the AQA paper 2 exam for students to consider, explore and respond to. * Detailed learning review at the end At least 2 lessons worth, range of speaking and listening and active learning contained within the PowerPoint. Also, lesson deals with lots of real life issues so there is a PSHE/ Personal development angle to the lessons too. All there, ready to roll, enjoy! 35 slides jam packed with content. Feedback welcomed to help further improve all resources. This is part of a full revision/writing skills scheme for paper 2, which is purchasable as a bundle.

Homophones mastery lessons and worksheets. SPaG

Homophones mastery lessons and worksheets. SPaG

(1)
Homophones! I'm often gobsmacked to find even my year 11 GCSE classes struggle with there/their/they're and through experience, I've learned that it's not that they don't know the correct homophone, they just simply don't revise them enough to have 'sharp skills' in this respect. These lessons are designed to address this area of weakness we often find in our students. You can do a single round as a starter or you may wish to build a couple of lessons around the whole scheme. Contents as follows: Homophone blast 1 - Round 1 'There/they're/their'. Round 2 'Your/you're' Homphone blast 2 - Round 1 'Were/where/we're'. Round 2 'To/two/too' Homophone blast 3 - Round 1 - Students circle the correct homophone in the sentence. Round 2 - Same as round 1 but more advanced homophones. Homophone blast test - A list of homophones whereby students need to create sentences out of the homophone words Answers PPT - Goes through each blast round by round, providing answers so that the whole thing can be peer-assessed Ready to roll, no adaptation required. Suitable for all age ranges really. Worksheets are easy to follow and ready to print out. Ideal as standalone/cover lessons too.

The ultimate SPaG & Punctuation Quiz / Test. 9 rounds, 150 slides. Ideal writing skills revision!
ajs12345ajs12345

The ultimate SPaG & Punctuation Quiz / Test. 9 rounds, 150 slides. Ideal writing skills revision!

(1)
Here is the ultimate SPaG/punctuation quiz! Let's face it, teaching SPaG can be dry, this quiz is just one way of making it a little more fun and adding a competitive element to it too. * Rounds comprise of either 5 or 10 questions * A single round can be completed as a starter, or the whole quiz can take at least a lesson * Answers are provided at the end of each round and can be peer assessed * Students must get all aspects of the question right to gain marks for that particular question (for example, all commas must be in the correct place on a comma question to gain a single mark). However, the test can be made easier by giving a mark for each punctuation mark in the correct place. * If you wish, you can use this as a baseline assessment and revisit the test again to check progress at the end of a SPaG or writing unit. Rounds as follows: Round 1 – Brackets (out of 10) Round 2 – ? ! or . (out of 10) Round 3 – Speech marks (out of 5) Round 4 – Semicolons (out of 5) Round 5 – Colons (out of 5) Round 6 – Commas (out of 10) Round 7 – Mixed 1 (out of 5) Round 8 – Mixed 2 (out of 5 Round 9 – Mixed 3 (out of 5) The quiz is reasonably challenging, and is therefore geared more towards KS3 and GCSE English level. However, it could also work with really bright KS2 students. Ideal activity as a standalone lesson or as part of a programme of GCSE revision for the new 9-1 Language spec, which places huge emphasis on this aspect of writing. I guess it would also make an ideal whole school literacy drive resource during tutor time! Ready to roll, Enjoy!

Literacy for Life CPD.  Promoting literacy across the curriculum.

Literacy for Life CPD. Promoting literacy across the curriculum.

(0)
This is a multi-discipline CPD designed to raise awareness of the importance of literacy and its impact on the lives and life chances of students. The session aims to look at literacy in the modern world and to establish its importance in our daily lives. The presentation also includes a wide range of academic research which reveals some shocking statistics about illiteracy and functional illiteracy in the UK. Importantly, this is an active session, with plenty of activities for delegates to ‘do’ during the course of the CPD. Delegates need to undertake a proof reading activity, along with a range of practical tasks with the aim of embedding literacy into their everyday lesson planning. The content can be squeezed into one hour, but could easily fill a couple of hours. I’ve had lots of positive feedback from the session, which I’ve delivered to NQTs and Trainees in the past. Equally, I think it would work brilliantly as a whole school CPD with the aim of raising the profile of literacy across the curriculum.

Marking the quiz is a breeze as the team sheets allow for the entire thing to be peer-marked; the interactive scoreboard makes the tracking of scores equally straightforward! The quiz should take you approximately 1 hour to complete but rounds can be easily dropped if time gets tight. There’s lots of variety in the rounds, making the quiz fun and engaging for your groups. Suitable for all subjects and curriculum areas as a one off fun lesson that your students will never forget: all you need to do is provide the prizes! Unfortunately, the TES preview feature can distort PowerPoint files so I’ve attached an image so that you see what your’e getting. All resources download properly when purchased.
