This is a 28 slide powerpoint planned for stretch and challenge in y7 exploring Tennyson’s poem “Ulysses”. There is lots of questioning to support the reading of the poem and there are two writing tasks (Ulysses’ imagined farewell letter and Penelope/Telemachus’s persuasive speech to encourage Ulysses not to leave). The two writing tasks require the pupils to use Tennysons’ methods in their own writing.

This is a powerpoint that I have used to take my class through the whole of “A Christmas Carol”. There are 99 slides in total.

This is a short scheme of work on “Romeo and Juliet” - used at my school as a revision scheme, recapping key events, themes and language. The intention is that it can be delivered across ten lessons although obviously the pace will need to be tailored to your students. One of the ten lessons has been set aside for the completion of an exam question.

These are the slides that I used to take my class through a first reading of “A Taste of Honey”, their set text for AQA GCSE English Literature. There are 67 slides in total. We read the play before beginning our close study.
