These resources are meant to compliment the use of the WJEC English and English Language Foundation texts (Heineman 2010)

I've created three mock Literature Exam style papers for practicing exam skills with my top set year 11 group. Having no past papers to go from thus far, they're just my attempt to give the students a 'realistic' feel for the types of questions they may experience. Feel free to adapt and change.

I can not claim credit for the SOW itself, but the PPTs have all been created by myself to fit into the SOW found here. Videos are obviously not included (Back to the Future 2, The Time Machine, The Sound of Thunder, and an episode of the Simpsons are needed for the unit). Focus of the unit is to introduce students to the genre of sci-fi (specifically time travel). Formal assessment is on how and why Wells desribes the living conditions of the Eloi in The Time Machine (historical context links)

Some resources that can be used for study of A Christmas Carol. I cannot claim ownership to all resources uploaded!

I've made the following resources to help support Year 10 WJEC English coursework, in which students write a controlled assessment analysing a theme within a Shakespearean play as well as across at least three different poems. I've focused on Macbeth and conflict this year, so thought I'd share some of the lessons I plan to use.

More lessons and resources for a non-fiction SOW looking at the Olympic games. Please see Part 1 and 3 of same name for rest of SOW. I cannot claim ownership of all the resources, but I did create the PPTs myself, based on other stimulus. Apologies for any spelling/grammar errors - I don't catch them sometimes!

Two mock English Literature exams that I've created for A Taste of Honey.

The rest of the resources for my optional end of year study of poetry. I've also included a few random writing activities, which I don't think will take up a whole lesson.

A lesson I've created to revise the relationship between Helen and Jo.

A revison lesson I've planned for use with my top set year 11 group re: revising for English Literature exam.

This unit supports a mid-to-lower level group of Year 9 students as they read Machine Gunners. Some of the lessons work on building reading skills at levels 5 and 6, while others work on writing skills. The final assessment for this unit was a written assessment.

This lesson works on ways students can effectively use dialogue in their writing, focusing on how to use it to create conflict in order to drive the story forward.

This is a mini-lesson (about 30 mins, but could be stretched to 60) that teaches students how to look at deeper meaning in a poem. The poem used is by Canadian poet Rienzi Cruz and focuses on moving. Skills are aimed at levels 4-6.

These resources are intended for use with students in lesson. They provide a basic understanding of AO2, AO3 and AO4 grade criteria for 10 mark questions on the Component 2 A (Reading) exam. Students are also provided with examples of how to start sentences within the various levels.

While the attached unit was created for GCSE, it can be easily used and adapted at KS3 for use in Year 9, under the new curriculum. The unit itself focuses on a revision of the key themes and characters, and would support lessons after a full reading of the text. Skills include analysing language and structure, as well as exploring how characters and themes develop across a text.

A whole scheme of work of KS3 teaching of a variety of dystopian fiction texts. Some of the larger texts are missing from the resources, for copyright purposes, but are readily available elsewhere. All lessons are aimed at levels 5, 6 and 7 reading skills.

This download contains an entire half-term’s worth of work on poetry from other cultures. The poems themselves are not included in the download, for copyright reasons, but you can easily obtain these yourselves - many are taken from past GCSE poetry anthologies. This scheme of work is fully resourced, including any relevant worksheets and examples needed for each lesson. Suitable for any KS3 group, not necessarily Y8 (which is what I originally created it for).

A full scheme of work which explores a variety of short stories from other cultures. Many of the stories are not included in this package, but are available in older KS4 anthologies or from other sources. The resources are aimed at levels 4, 5 and 6 reading skills. Final assessment was an analysis of a short story.
