A single lesson exploring structure through multi-media (a clip of the water scene in Jaws) to track the events and focus of the audience. This is then developed into the text version and how to track structure in this.
A lesson exploring narrative structure and the role of characterisation during exposition. The text linked to this extract is A Pinch of Magic - the website has a fantastic resource bundle which I use with the lesson.
An extract from ‘The Ocean at the End of the Lane’ with accompanying academic reading resource - focusing on pre-reading, during-reading, and post-reading.
An extract to be used for AQA Language Paper 1, Q1/Q2.
An easily adaptable resource designed for a HA Year 7 group, could be used for most of KS3 with slight tweaking. Print and cut the resources, stick them around the room or on different tables, giving students time to visit and make comments on each station. Differentiated success criteria. Proved to be very engaging and effective.
