AQA English Literature Jekyll and Hyde Chapter 5 Secrecy- Blackout Analysis

(5)
A lesson analysing the theme of secrecy within Jekyll and Hyde. Involves students completing a 'blackout analysis' (like blackout poetry) to highlight key words that aid to the theme. Students find the words associated with secrecy, then 'blackout' the rest. After annotating the words they've found, they then use this to spark an analysis based on a GCSE question. Full Powerpoint provided, with differentiated learning objectives throughout, and the extract from the text. Please leave a review and let me know how it goes!
Romeo and Juliet Plot Revision using Baz Luhrmann

Romeo and Juliet Plot Revision using Baz Luhrmann

(2)
A booklet that has explores the whole play, using Baz Luhrmann’s version of the film. For every scene (apart from Act 4 Scene 2,3, 4) I have a screen shot of a key event with a question next to it, linked to a character/quote/theme/event. Most are cloze based questions for weaker students, however I have left space for higher ability to make their own notes. Made for students who were absent/missed study of Romeo and Juliet. Perfect to be used alongside watching the film as a “blast” to enable them to understand major plot, characters and themes within. Note: where the Luhrmann edition misses key things, I have explored these in the questions.

AQA English Paper 1 Question 4 Narrative Viewpoints and Reliability

(1)
A lesson that introduces the idea of differing narrative viewpoints within a text and explores how reliable these are. I used these as to help students evaluate for question 4. The base text is an extract from Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest, whereby the narrator is a schizophrenic patient.

AO3 Comparison AQA English Language: Banksy

AO3 Comparison AQA English Language: Banksy

(0)
A whole lesson and resources practicing the AO3 comparison skill through Banksy’s ‘Dismaland’ attraction. I have created this lesson for a high set of year 11 students, however this could be adapted for any KS across school. The lesson focuses around comparison, firstly with photos, then videos, then texts- all surrounding Banksy’s Dismaland. Resources: Powerpoint: lesson with differentiated learning objectives and mark scheme for peer assessment. Worksheets: two newspaper articles for comparison, a sheet to compare two adverts of the attraction, a grid to record language choices in the articles.
