A Christmas Carol - Context

(0)
A lesson focusing on context for A Christmas Carol (Victorian Era). My class were given very specific facts and asked to link to as many key scenes as possible, along with finding key quotations. Worked really well and helped them to remember to link to context for the exam without being overwhelmed by too much information.

Romeo and Juliet - The Nurse, Lady Capulet, and Juliet (Act 1 Scene 3)

(0)
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.

A lesson focusing on our first impressions of Capulet and Tybalt. Pupils had empathy towards Juliet and her situation, read the script and figured out how they felt towards Capulet and Paris before looking at some context.

Romeo and Juliet - Meeting Romeo

(0)
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.

Fiction Writing - Unreliable Narrators
jessomalleyjessomalley

Fiction Writing - Unreliable Narrators

(1)
A lesson which worked extremely well with a high ability year 9 class, who were focusing on the fiction section of the Eduqas exam. Can be easily adapted to suit different abilities. The lesson focuses on the pupils understanding the term 'unreliable narrator' and then reading key extracts taken from 'The Girl on the Train', 'The Yellow Wallpaper' and 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time'. The pupils had to choose which extract they wanted to read and identify in what way the narrator was unreliable. Great discussion came from this. They then had to imagine they were watching the unreliable narrator and create a descriptive writing piece focused on this. Examples included in the PowerPoint. My pupils ended up asking me if they could have copies of the books as they wanted to read more!
