This lesson helped me to achieve and outstanding for a recent lesson observation. The PowerPoint looks at an empathetic style exam question and then there is a group work activity. The group work activity is set up so that you have a different character at each different work station, with different questions to get students to think and empathise with each character. Once downloaded, it is really simple to follow.

Exactly as the title says - I used this with my bottom sets.

The 1st PowerPoint can be delivered in a number of ways and there are many questions based around the main characters that enable learners to empathise with them. The 2nd PowerPoint then focuses on the female characters and the planning and writing of an empathetic response. This could possibly be used over 3 lessons.

A handy revision resource that goes through some quick common errors that students make in exams. This is beneficial to most subjects, especially the ones that pick up the extra marks for spelling, punctuation and grammar (SPaG) in the final exams.

A revision mat to help students to get their ideas down on paper. An alternative to use instead of the regular PEE. It has a specific focus on language and the effect that the writer may be trying to achieve. This worked especially well with my more able learners.

This mat can be used when students are writing a descriptive piece. It offers students prompts when writing and includes a checklist.

The first lesson looks at identifying key quotes and working on large paper in groups The second lesson actually focuses on writing a response Can be amended to suit exam board

This presentation goes through possible scenarios/descriptive writing tasks and gets students to think about taking ownership over their writing and making it as creative as possible. This is all done through image stimuli. The first few slides asks students to assess strengths and weaknesses on another student response, to use these slides you will also need to copy your own student response.

As the title suggests, I used this resource to look at the Narrator's opening lines to the play. I asked learners to look at imagery and connotations to analyse the effect of the writer's use of language.

Looking at an old exam style task based around motorcycling, this presentation includes lots of images and peer assessment to ensure that boys are engaged and to ensure that they are meeting success criteria when writing letters.

The start of a modelled response to demonstrate to pupils how to write about mood and atmosphere. The model is aimed at B/C borderline students.

This presentation helped me to secure an 'outstanding' judgement in my lesson observation. The presentation is set up to allow students to explore juxtaposition and pathetic fallacy in an extract. The entire lesson focuses on AO2 - Language, Structure and Form. The lesson is set up for group work activities.

A structured grid for students to begin to understand the relationships between characters in Romeo and Juliet.

This planning sheet can be used to plan any form of writing. There is a section on there for making inferences too, i.e. if students are responding to something that they have read. This really allows students to understand the importance of planning and really helped my lower ability learners in terms of giving them a really structured way of doing so.

Response looks at all 3 ghosts and the Bob
