A powerpoint to support teaching of AQA's A Level Literature B specification for chapter 1 of 'The Great Gatsby'. Many opportunities to link ideas to quotations and offers students the chance to make their own notes, or work together, depending on your preferred teaching style.
This is a detailed SOW which includes all powerpoints, worksheets, assessments and example responses to take pupils through the study of Priestley's 'An Inspector Calls'. Written this year to be taught to year 10 GCSE classes, the scheme includes assessment points, a mock style question, mini tests alongside going through the main themes, characters and ideas of the play. If this scheme is followed, pupils should have a good grounding and understanding of the play and its contextual background. Designed originally for use with the new AQA GCSE course (9-1), but could be used for other exam boards.
There are 22 resources included in this bundle. They are labelled L1 and so forth identifying which resources go with which lessons.
Mini bundle includes a short revision PPT (includes mark scheme and key information), a sample essay response to the AQA specimen question 'how far do you think Macbeth can be viewed as a hero' which students can annotate using the mark scheme, an AO3 map to help students put these areas into their responses and a table of the key quotations which they can cut up and use to make flash cards.
