Two A3 sides of character quotes. I have broken them down into different acts for each character and then put them into different categories if necessary. These are great revision resources and could be printed and then laminated and used as a classroom resource.

I made this to use with my KS4 classes. It has quotes for each character in the play and then has which act and scene each quotation is from. I print it out and laminate it for my classes.

This is a resource, mainly for revision of A Christmas Carol, but could be used in a lesson as well. There are two A3 sheets with quotations for characters and themes. I have also attached copies of the resource in A4, in case this is more useful. I printed the sheets and laminated them for my classes and can use them all year round.

Here are 5 lessons that focus on different arguments and persuasive appeals. There are ones about war and the justification for it, poverty and animal cruelty.

This is a coplete short scheme, teaching paper2 AQA language. I made this for a year 10 group of low ability students, but it should work for any students. It is broken down in order for students to be able to individually access the work at home. There is a main focus on the comparison questions. There are 2 sets of practice papers.

I made this and it can last for a few lessons. It gets students to create speeches and pieces of writing that are persuasive. It also gets students reading and annotating persuasive appeals.

This resource covers reading and writing skills and looks at different sub-genres of Sci-Fi literature. There are reading and writing skills integrated throughout. There are a number of independent tasks for students to complete. The idea is to give studnets a grounding in both genres in order for them to be able to apply these ideas to the literature they study.

These are some of the broken-down resources I’ve made for my year 10s. These are for more low ability sets, but some of the tasks are a little more challenging.

This was made for year 9 to encourage viewpoint writing for the AQA paper 2 language exam for question 5. It focuses around anuimals cruelty and could be used at any point with any year group.

These are a series of lessons, using different resources and genres to teach the basics of creative writing. The lessons aim to teach students to say a lot about a little and create atmosphere and tension in their writing.

I created this for my year 8 class, but you could use this with different year groups as well. I have used different resources from other people and my own, to create this into a scheme of work. I have included all the powerpoints and resources for the scheme.

This is a scheme of work with over 17 lessons on unseen poetry. There are lots of creative ideas in the scheme and differentiated materials. This is a full scheme of work and could be used for year 9, 10 or 11. It does cover a huge number of poems and skills. There are some poems The idea of the scheme is to give a wide view on poetry and hoe students can look at imagery, language and structure - this is tailored towards skills for the AQA seen and unseen poetry sections and is skill based.

These are the first two lessons of a scheme of work for year 9 on poetry. I will be selling the rest of the scheme for £2 for 18 more lessons with an anthology as well. The lessons are planned to engage students with poetry at the same time as teaching them key skills they’ll need for GCSE seen and unseen poetry. I have tried to use poems for imagery, language, structure and form, so that they can really develop their skills in discussing the different aspects of poetry. You could use the scheme for older and younger students as well and it could be used to teach unseen poetry to GCSE. This might not work if you are using the power and conflict poems for AQA as some of them are in the scheme. Please feel free to leave comments about the lessons I have uploaded.

These are a few lessons to introduce students to poetry and get them thinking about what poetry is and how to enjoy it.

A booklet for Jekyll and Hyde for GCSE - there are resources in here about context and the more difficult vocabulary is broken down, using crosswords and mix and match activities.

I have included Power points and poems which should act as a stimulus for creative writing, particularly in poetry. Some of the poems were written by me, using the lessons as a starting point for my own writing. These could be used to discuss how people have used the stimulus material in their own writing.

I used this to look at the openings of a number of different Dickens novels and then use what they had learned to write their own. The example is mine. They can read the extracts in one lesson and then think about the ingredients of a Dickensian novel.

I used this with a high ability year 8 group. I gave them different resources, such as paper, glue, googly eyes, lolly sticks, toilet rolls and silver foil. I also got them to create the interior of the room as described in the passage.

I am using this with my high ability year 8 group. I am going to give them 15 minutes on each task. 5 minutes to read the extract and then 10 minutes to complete the activity. If you have lower ability students you could use some of the ideas and adapt them. I took these passages from someone else on TES - so thank you to that person.

I made this using some other people's resources as well. It is for my IGCSE coursework on argument writing
