Two lessons. First lesson focuses on understanding the poem and the students asking their own questions about the poem to which their partner can answer. Second lesson is differentiated and has 3 different tasks, catering to different abilities within the class.

A lesson which allows pupils to see the world through a photographer's eyes. Analysis lesson which allows pupils to iceberg (dig deep) into key quotations.

A lesson looking at the love potion and pros/cons. Analysis of Helena's character in a fun pass the quotation task. Colourful, engaging resource.

A lesson focused on writing a news report on Hermia being missing. Group work task which gives the students ownership and allows them to teach the rest of the class before writing up the report themselves.

An easy to follow lesson which focuses on the pupils exploring the prologue of Romeo and Juliet. Key discussion on why an opening to a play is important before a task which enables the pupils to take control of their own learning to figure out exactly what the prologue means and what the play will be about. Can be easily adapted. Worksheet included.

A lesson which focuses on Act 1 Scene 3 - the Nurse, Lady Capulet and Juliet. My class went on a 'Quest for Quotations' with the worksheet provided and were set off on the task of looking at one specific character before getting into groups and teaching one another. The second half of the lesson focused on an exam style question, with an example included that my class came up with. Worked really well with high ability but can be differentiated and split into two lessons if need be.

Two lessons. First focuses on Tybalt's character in Act 1's party scene. A 'pass the quotation' task which enabled pupils to analyse and explore on a deeper level before answering an exam style question. Second lesson is a creative task focusing on mask making which my class thoroughly enjoyed!

A descriptive writing lesson which focuses on the pupils imagining they are a soldier in WW1. Starter focuses on improving vocabulary through looking up what key words mean, then a short clip which allows the pupils to put themselves in the shoes of a soldier before they then begin to write their piece of work. High ability example included for inspiration for them.

Two lessons which focus on the characterisation of Romeo. First lesson centres on different types of love before reading the section of the play where we first meet Romeo. Key quotations were then put on the board and the pupils were given 3minutes to deeply analyse the quotations. We then fed back as a class - notes on the PowerPoint. Second lesson focuses on how to respond to an Eduqas exam style question (can be adapted to other exam specs), with a high level example included to help the pupils. My class responded really well to this and felt a lot more confident with the exam after these two lessons.

Looking at a modern gang and how it links to the long standing feud between Capulets and Montagues.
