Ideal for GCSE Literature revision - a quick true/false quiz to be completed independently or in pairs on aspects of context in 'An Inspector Calls.'

Students are given nine statements about Goole which they have to support with appropriate quotations (I have compiled some quotations as 'answers'.) If adapted for other characters, it could ensure all GCSE Literature students studying the play could have a bank of relevant quotations to memorise. Ideal for a lesson starter/H.W for any GCSE students who have finished reading the play

Activities for weaker students to access and revise Wilfred Owen’s poem ‘Exposure’ . Can be further differentiated to suit individual students.

A straightforward lesson analysing some of Lady Macbeth’s language in this scene (when she reads Macbeth’s letter) - offering sentence starters for a PEEZ activity as well as an interesting creative writing task. Could be useful as a cover lesson or even for H/W. Used with a mixed ability Year 9 group. If you want to watch the scene on link provided, you’ll find it at 20 minutes and 30 seconds.

Effective revision activity for GCSE English Language and Literature or can be adapted for KS3 students. Provides model sentence stems and requires students to match them to the aspects of a PEEZ paragraph.

Selection of activities presented as a menu for Key Stage 3 library based lessons - could be used as homework or cover lesson activity.

Comic article ranting about wasps with some activities to encourage KS3 students to analyse language choices and create their own writing inspired by the text.

Supported activity with ‘No Fear’ Shakespeare extract of Lady Macbeth reacting to Macbeth’s letter. Ideal for mixed Year 9 students or weaker KS4 students. PEEZ sentence starters and a writing task.

Grid to support writing about the character of Crooks. Can easily be adapted for most abilities, used this with my (lower) mixed ability Year Nines. I provided points, gave specific page numbers for Section Four so they could find relevant quotations and sentence starters for their explanations. Page numbers refer to the Penguin edition 'Of Mice and Men' (pictured in cover image.) Could be used when teaching Section Four. I'm expecting they'll be able to use this grid to support them in writing an analysis assessment - consisting of around 4/5 paragraphs, analysing the character of Crooks; could be adapted to other characters.

AQA style Paper TWO (READING QUESTIONS 1-4) with appropriate source texts about London. This gives students an opportunity to practise the skills needed in answering the new Paper Two ‘Writers’ Viewpoints and Perspectives’. Model paragraphs for Q4 for students to mark against simplified criteria provided. Planning grid for Q4 also provided to support them with their answer. Have used with Middle/bottom Yr 10 group. Could be adapted for H/W or used as a basis for a series of lessons (one/two lessons per question.)

Pretty much ready to print (just change due day/date) and you have a comprehensive collection of spellings suitable for all secondary age students. Students need to write the words into sentences too to prove they have learnt the words. Simple but effective H.W!

Revision lesson for less able students on ‘The Carew Murder Case’ from Stevenson’s Jekyll and Hyde. Includes opportunities to revise previous chapters, close language analysis and discuss Victorian attitudes to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Cloze Chapters 1-4 summaries (sold separately for £1) included when purchasing Powerpoint for this lesson.

Used as a H/W task with my second set Year Ten class after discovering that a majority of them had developed the bad habit of 'quotation bombing.' The model examples and practice points and quotations can be easily adapted to suit any text; I have used the AQA 'Women in Prison' source materials from a specimen Paper Two.

Smartboard slides (so won't work unless you have the necessary SMART notebook software) that were originally created by me for a now redundant Year Seven SoW. Could be adapted for any Key Stage Three class looking at the history of the English Language or Chaucer. If you have SMART notebook software, you can access the other files that accompany the scheme (copies of extracts/worksheets etc.) through the paperclip icon either to the left or right of the smartboard slides.
