Exploring identity in Sylvia Plath's 'Mirror'
A lesson exploring how Sylvia Plath uses language to present ideas about identity in her poem ‘Mirror’.
Was designed for a mixed ability Year 9 class, but would be a great stretch and challenge lesson for a higher ability Year 8 class.
Various activities including an imagery task, where students match images to a line or phrase in the poem (handout).
Stretch and challenge tasks also incorporated.
Lord of the Flies: Id, Ego and Superego
A Freudian reading of LOTF, suitable for remote learning as well as in the classroom.
This lesson explores Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of the Id, Ego and Superego, applying it to Lord of the Flies to develop students’ contextual knowledge and understanding of characterisation.
This is a great stretch and challenge lesson, planned for a top set Y11 class, although can easily be differentiated according to ability.
Includes a range of tasks and stimuli to engage and facilitate learning such as videos, a Guess Who game, character profiles activity and a quiz (link included to quiz in lesson plan).

Creating Effective Metaphors and Similes
Two lessons to engage students in creative writing, and to enable them to create effective similes and metaphors whilst understanding the difference between the two,
Lesson 1: students develop their understanding of similes and identify their effects, utilising their knowledge to construct their own simile poem.
Lesson 2: designed to follow on from the simile lesson.
Students build upon their knowledge of similes and develop these skills into creating effective metaphors using advanced vocabulary.
During this lesson they will understand the effects of metaphors, and how they are similar/different from similes.
They will use their knowledge to develop effective metaphors in their creative writing, using engaging stimuli.
These lessons are aimed at Year 7 but may be suitable for L/A Year 8.
