Due to the size of the videos, the presentation has been split into two parts. This is a task to practise Personal Writing, giving pupils the opportunity to practise generating ideas, planning, and structuring their planning prior to writing an assessment piece for Personal Writing. Task is based upon 'your worst holiday experience'.
A collection of five separate study maps for pupils to use either as study aids during reading the text, or as revision resources after studying the text, focussing upon character, and constructed using exam board's past-paper markschemes.
An original study map for 'An Inspector Calls' for pupils to work through as they consider the theme of learning lessons, as it is presented in the play. This resource works well as whole class discussion aftter pupils have annotated the map with quotatioons and responses in pairs, groups, or independently. I created this study map for my GCSE class to use as revision for their final exam after studying the whole text. It also forms a good basis for writing a Speaking and Listening presentation on the play.
Three activities, covering Homeric similes and epithets, as well as exploring the role of the Greek gods in the text through a 'Mastermind'-style lesson. I have used all of these resources for both GCSE and A-level study of the Odyssey.
An introductory handout for pupils embarking upon study of the Odyssey, covering oral tradition and the background of the Trojan War, accompanied by a book-by-book summary of the text. I have used these resources at both GCSE and A-level.
Two original study maps for the play 'An Inspector Calls' for pupils to complete as they study each character, Mrs and Mr Birling. Both study maps include completed versions for teachers to use to go through pupils' responses, which works well as whole class discussion. I created these study maps for my GCSE class to use as revision for their final exam after studying the whole play, but colleagues also used them effectively as resources as they taught the text. They also form a good basis for writing a Speaking and Listening presentation on the characters.
A collection of essay-writing resources including guidelines on how to approach answers, structure essays, and numerous exemplars by past pupils (with teacher annotations as well as mark schemes) covering a variety of exam questions.
Detailed notes, a lesson presentation and handout, as well as pupils' responses that can be used as essay plan frameworks, for 'Personal Helicon'; one of the Heaney poems in the new CCEA AS specification in English Literature.
Two study maps to be annotated with quotations from the poems and pupils' analysis, covering the possible AS1 examination question themes of The Past ('Mending Wall' by Robert Frost, and 'The Forge' and 'Bogland' by Seamus Heaney), and Childhood Experiences ('The Railway Children' by Heaney and 'Out- Out' by Frost).
A study map on each of the possible AS1 examination question themes of Journeys ('Postscript' by Heaney and 'Acquainted with the Night' by Frost), and Landscapes ('Desert Places' by Frost and 'Bogland' by Heaney) on the new CCEA English Literature specification. These should be annotated by pupils with analysis and quotations after studying each of the poems.
A lesson each for 3 of the 12 Robert Frost poems in the new English Literature AS specification for CCEA: 'Birches', 'Desert Places', and 'Going for Water'.
A presentation and handout for a lesson on the poem 'Into my Own' by Robert Frost, one of the poems on the new CCEA AS English Literature specification.
A presentation for 'Postscript', one of the poems in the Heaney/Frost anthology on the new CCEA AS English Literature specification, as well as a class set of pupils' detailed responses to the Heaney poem 'The Peninsula', which can be used as frameworks for essay plans on the poem.
A presentation and handout for studying 3 of the poems on the new CCEA AS English Literature specification: 'Acquainted with the Night' and 'Out- Out' by Robert Frost, as well as 'The Summer of Lost Rachel' by Seamus Heaney, under the possible examination theme of grief, loss or death.
A lesson presentation and a set of research questions on the Heaney poem 'The Summer of Lost Rachel', one of the poems on the new CCEA AS English Literature specification.
A lesson where pupils look at exemplar POINT-EVIDENCE-EXPLANATION paragraphs (written by my previous pupils on 'Boy in the Striped Pyjamas', but the success criteria of structuring paragraphs can be applied to any text), then use a table of success criteria to evaluate them in groups. With the understanding of these success criteria, and having seen 'What a Good One Looks Like', pupils then self-evaluate and improve their own work.
