This unit of work is a heavily chunked writing unit that guides learners slowly through the process of producing an extended piece of persuasive writing. The “Room 101 Rant” that learners produce is themed on the Room 101 TV show where contestants “banish” things that annoy them about the real world. By using persuasive techniques and a discursive structure, learners will persuade their reader of the three things that they would banish from the real world. This is a fun and highly engaging unit of work, designed for S2/Y8 learners, but is well suited to lower year groups. As well as the main skills of writing, reviewing, and identifying/using persuasive language, this unit engages heavily with self- and peer- modes of assessment, and practises learners’ ability to deliver and utilise them both. The unit of nine main lessons (most were designed as double periods) guides the class through the production of a first and final draft piece of persuasive writing, which can be used for summative assessment. The unit includes differentiated materials to support the higher and lower ends, as well as a set of nine main lesson PPTs which are visually well designed and supported with engaging starter tasks, plenaries, digital learning activities, and interactive timers embedded into the PPT.

**An Inspector Calls: First Teaching/Revision ** GCSE, Higher level. A well-designed and detailed exam revision scheme of work for eight big lesson plans, optimised for online teaching. The PPTs are designed to be divided over eight weeks of lessons, and there are plenty of activities to do this, but they could easily be broken down further and their activities used as supplementary material. Most activities are differentiated with some more challenging, bonus questions for early finishers. The questions within written activities are designed to increase in difficulty in order to both push learners, and to ensure weaker members of the class are still able to complete tasks. This SoW assumes no knowledge of the play, however as revision focused lessons. The context sections and practice essays are especially useful for this mode of work. All sections refer to the attached PowerPoint presentations, which contain knowledge breakdowns and can also act as handouts. The sections are as follows: Week 1. AIC: The Play and its Contexts Week 2. Arthur Birling: A Practical Man of Business Week 3. Sheila Birling: Blame and Shame Week 4: The Inspector: The Art of Interrogation Week 5: Gerald Croft: Keeping up Appearances Week 6: Sybil Birling: Proud and Prejudiced Week 7: Eric Birling: The Generational Gap Week 8: The End: Social Responsibility and the End of Capitalism In each week’s PowerPoint, you’ll find a series of whiteboard-friendly, well designed, and detailed written questions, discussion questions, and knowledge breakdowns which can span over multiple lessons.
