I teach English across Key Stages 3-5, and I teach Film Studies at A Level. I try to create resources which are easy to use and which, for KS4 and 5 pupils, will aid their revision for exams. My resources tend to be word documents, so they can easily be adapted to suit your students' needs.

Guided Analysis of Scenes 1-10 of A Streetcar Named Desire

10 Resources
After teaching each scene to my A Level students, I give them these sheets. They are Word docs, which can be given to students so they can type their responses directly into the fields provided. Alternatively, you could hand out paper copies and they could handwrite their responses. The tasks include: stating when this scene is set giving a brief synopsis of the scene lots of deep-dive questions into the characters and dialogue exploring the use of stagecraft and plastic theatre in the scene examining relevant contextual factors They are ideal for use with A Level English Literature students, but could be used in Drama lessons, too. Note: There isn’t a sheet like this for scene 11 as I tend to teach that scene quite differently.
World War One Soldier Slang

World War One Soldier Slang

(0)
A handout containing 36 examples of slang commonly used by soldiers in the trenches of WW1, plus their definitions. For example, ‘Barkers’ were sausages, because the the meat in them was thought to come from dogs. ‘Dead soldiers’ were empty beer bottles. I give these sheets to students who have just studied Journey’s End and ask them to write a short play set in the trenches in which the characters use some of the slang terms. It could also be useful when writing fiction or even non-fiction pieces about the war.

Hamlet Act1, Scene 1 unit of work for KS3

(0)
This is a short unit I use with Year 8 when doing ‘Hamlet’. We tend to focus on Act One, so I start by exploring the opening scene. Students: Read the scene aloud in groups (or as a whole class, if you like) Complete a cloze exercise about the scene Investigate how they would stage the ghost if they were producing the play in 1608 I usually show a YouTube clip of what the Globe Theatre would have been like at the time to help them visualise the scene.
Hamlet 1,2 for KS3

Hamlet 1,2 for KS3

(0)
This resource was designed for use with Year 8s, but it could work at GCSE or even A Level. Students: Read the opening of 1,2 (up until Claudius’ exit) Highlight his speech according to the various themes within it Explore the speech, finding key quotations The final page is to prepare for a hot-seating task where students get to think up questions for Claudius, Hamlet and Shakespeare, based on the opening of the scene. With weaker groups, I adopt the roles and they ask me questions, but with brighter students, they play the roles, too.
