I've been a fully qualified secondary school teacher for four years and began my teaching career at a challenging, although rewarding, mixed non-selective school in a grammar area. I now work as head of KS3 English at a high achieving boys grammar school.

Bundle of all Frankenstein lessons from beginning to end of novel available in my shop
Previously taught to 3 different year 10 classes where grades were raised from Grade 4 up to Grade 8+ by the end of the unit. My lesson-by-lesson PowerPoints are designed for higher ability but can be adapted for lower by simply removing some of the higher level contextual material available to stretch students. It takes students through Shelley’s Frankenstein step-by-step including activities to teach and engage students on a deep level with context, intertextuality/allusion, close language analysis and includes regular assessments, debates and thinking tasks as well as guided reading with questions for each chapter covered.
Each lesson has a core focus on a chapter, character, plot point or theme. Lessons can be taught without amending and were designed originally for the new Grades 1 - 9 GCSE assessment without levels and designed to allow students to achieve grade 9. School this resource was designed for teaches AQA spec, but suits any specification which uses ‘Frankenstein’ as a core text. All worksheets included too. Video clip links are found in the ‘notes’ section of the relevant slide.
Also adaptable for A Level due to high level of stretch provided.
Sets of lessons organised into themes to teach ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ as stand-alone text or as part of dystopian coursework available in my shop.
Originally taught to A Level Literature students for their coursework on Dystopian Literture, this unit of 3-4 lessons covers:
Flower imagery in the novel
Discussion questions around Offred and the objectification of women
Critical essays on women and femininity in ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’
Read-to-teach lessons in Powerpoints with all accompanying worksheets/links included.
This set of 4-5 lessons provides ready-to-teach lessons for Scenes 1 - 3 of ‘Streetcar’ including analytical questions for A Level students, and studies of relevant contextual factors, e.g. the trope of the Southern Belle.
This ready-to-teach set of lessons covers the second part of scene 3 in more detail (see HpfEnglish Resources scenes 1 - 3 for previous lessons). It also moves on to cover scenes 4 and 5 including relevant contextual detail and close analysis. This also links dramatic form (Plastic Theatre) closely to the play and provides activities for students to find elements of this in the play for themselves.
This resource is a comprehensive lesson which teaches and revises how to create/use complex sentences, colons and semi-colons. After teaching each punctuation task, there are tasks to be completed (all on the worksheet) with a round-up task at the end. Used originally to revise varied punctuation with KS4 for Language exam but can easily be used in KS3/KS4 starters.
This set of ready-to-teach lessons covers scenes 6 and 7 of ‘Streetcar’ in detail, including an assessment opportunity and lots of close analysis of key quotes. This in depth set of lessons is a comprehensive study of these scenes ready for teachers to use to launch into analysis and detailed discussion.
