These are some newspaper article templates that I found online and have blown up tot go with my Newspaper lesson.

Here is a cheeky little mark sheet you can use to speed up that last bit of marking. All you have to do it tick the boxes you want your students to complete and they can write the answers on their work or in the spaces on the second sheet. Marking made quick and easy,

One slide that breaks down how to write a comparative paragraph for the GCSE comparing poem exam question.

A cheeky job advert template for your students. Enjoy!

Here is an AFOREST lesson that gets students to pick out the persuasive techniques they can see in an advert. It then goes onto analysing leaflets; for this I usually go and grab a handful of leaflets from the Tourist Information or a service station. Then you can use the middle part of the lesson and the work sheets to get students to identify and explain persuasive techniques used. This is a great lesson if your students are creating a leaflet or brochure for their assessment. It has always worked really well with Y7 and 8s.

With only two sample questions from the new spec for Edexcel literature exam on 'An Inspector Calls', I thought I would create a step-by-step guide of how to answer one of these questions. Most of my students find it hard to add context in, and now with a question focused on context the students were finding this difficult. This power point is great at showing the students where to start and how to plan for the question. All the answers come up in sections. There is even a hand written mind map to show the students how they could link all the ideas together. My class found this very useful and have now started to understand how to link theme, context and quotations all together for this question.

This power point is great for preparing your class to write an essay on The Tempest. The question that I have focused on is 'How does Shakespeare present Prospero and his relationship with one other character in the first act of ‘The Tempest’? Included are PEE questions, success criteria based on the new 9-1 scale, and a model paragraph on Prospero and Caliban. There are about three lessons in this one power point in order to prepare your students. This lesson goes really well with The Tempest Planning sheet (which can be used to plan their assessment after these lessons). '

This film review lesson is a great way to catch the attention of your class when it comes to writing persuasively. It has a colourful display and engaging music at the beginning as well as activities to suit the build up to writing persuasively. Not only do you get a power point that goes through how to write persuasively and then gives the students an extensive writing task, this presentation also comes with a four page booklet to guide each student through the lesson. It has a film review example as well as sentence starters to help them create the perfect film review.

We all have those classes who need that extra bit of guidance when it comes to PEE, and that need reminding of the key descriptive words in A Christmas Carol. Here we have a very basic lesson with a wordsearch and questions all on Stave One of A Christmas Carol. These could be used as two separate starters or just as a simple lesson to get the students remembering the key sections of Stave One. For very low ability.

This is a great starting lesson for students who are just about to start studying 'An Inspector Calls' it introduces all the context and the themes of the play. It also goes through the exam requirements for Edexcel. It also has video links to BBC Bitesize revision videos that help students to fill in the Themes and Context sheet attached. (Internet needed for the links) This helped my students get down the basics and start making links to the themes that run throughout the play.

This introductory lesson starts with the all important Prologue in Romeo and Juliet. There are several activities that you can do with your students in the power point using the Prologue attachment as well. Then as you continue through the lesson there are PEE structure questions and a model PEE paragraph on the tragedy of the play Romeo and Juliet. In addition, there are some great music links (internet access needed) that will get your students excited and engaged in analysing Romeo and Juliet. I had students from other classes trying to come into my lesson when I played these music gems.

A nice little lesson to get your class thinking about how it feels to be alone. They should use the images and the movie clips to write down a range of adjectives. The students should then attempt to put their feelings of feeling alone into a descriptive paragraph.

This Shakespeare Research Booklet is a fantastic resource for introducing students into the world of Shakespeare. Every teacher struggles with how to teach the all important context section of the Shakespeare topic, and how to make it actually interesting. Well, here is the way to do it, and all you will need for one to two lessons is either a computer room or a Shakespeare book box from your school library. This booklet will teach the context for you, as it has key questions for the students to research, fun activities to complete, key quotations to understand, and a glossary the students can fill out.

A Christmas Carol annotation, analysis and essay writing for beginners! Two developing lessons here - starting with the teacher showing how to annotate the first extract (description on Scrooge), and then getting students to use questions on the second extract (Fred extract) which then leads them onto annotating the final extract alone. Once all this is completed, go onto the second PPT which contains an essay plan with models of the plan and of a paragraph. Then students can have a go. Lots here - a full week of lessons which helps you get students independently thinking about extract analysis and planning in a structure. This really helped my Y10 get stuck into analysis and showed them they could do it without me. The plan and model then helped them create some 5+ essays on their first attempt. Enjoy! Please note - extracts and images are not included in the price - these do not belong to me - you’re paying for the lesson structure, plans, models and questions on extracts.

Here are four essay plans for ACC. I created these for my Y11 in the lead up to their exams - they are great for showing students how to look at multiple meanings of keywords and how they are used as methods. Context is added on some of them, but they are mainly for showing analysis. Questions planned in PPT: Starting with this extract, how are the ghosts presented as a catalyst (promote and build up to) for Scrooges transformation? Starting with this extract, how does Dickens present Scrooge’s relationship with his family? Starting with this extract, how does Dickens present the Ghost of Jacob Marley? Starting with this extract, how does Dickens present society’s attitude to poverty? Happy planning!

Three mixed quizzes - great for checking how much content students remember. I use these on a weekly basis with my classes - repeating them helps them to remember for the exam.

If you’re looking to show your class a top level Macbeth essay 25/30 AQA, then look no further. I wrote this essay for my class to show them how you can link your ideas throughout your essay to show thoughtful and developed analysis with examined methods and top mark contexts. A great reminder of what a whole essay looks like for your class. (Please note the extract is not included in the price, this is just to show you what the question is based on.)

Please find 4 questions with quotes and analysis to support your students with their answers to AIC. The questions planned are: How does Priestley use Gerald to explore ideas about responsibility? How does Sheila change in An Inspector Calls? How does Priestley present the Inspector in An Inspector Calls? How important is the character of Eric in demonstrating Priestley’s ideas? Please note quotes and questions are not included in the price - you’re paying for the detailed analysis of quotes. These massively helped my students with their revision!

Hi all, Here is a lesson I created to show my students how they could have answered a question on joy and happiness for ACC. There are examples of keyword analysis and how this can be put into a paragraph. Please note quotes from ACC are not included in the price - you’re paying for Lesson structure, analysis and 2 model paragraphs.

Stuck teaching your class about structure and language for the new spec? Look no further! Here is a fantastic lesson pack that takes the class through how to answer the following question: How successful is Steinbeck at creating tension when Candy’s dog dies? In this pack you will find a power point presentation that is ready to go, as it guides the class through the extract (attached) and how they should annotate it. It then talks them through answering the question using PEE questions and PEE sentence starters. If that doesn't hit the spot, then wait until you see the two page top mark model answer that can be shown to that class to mark and then get them marking their own. This model answer includes, three structure model paragraphs on this question and two language/language device paragraphs. It comes together to create a full fabulous answer. The mark scheme for this is also included. This has helped my class massively, I hope it helps yours too.
