GCSE English Language Transactional Writing Scheme of Work

GCSE English Language Transactional Writing Scheme of Work

(0)
A six week scheme of work that teaches students all they need to know about the transactional writing element of the new GCSE for English Language. Although this is designed with Edexcel in mind, it does adapt easily to other exam boards (the only specific references to Edexcel are on slides containing shots of the success criteria). This SOW is very detailed, containing multiple grade 9 exemplars to use for inspiration, as well as exam tasks. The lessons cover different genres, for example writing a speech, a newspaper article, a magazine article, an obituary, a letter and a blog, as well as different purposes including writing to persuade, inform, argue and entertain.
Secondary Assembly - Importance of Reading

Secondary Assembly - Importance of Reading

(0)
An assembly for KS3, KS4 and KS5 which links to whole school Literacy and the importance of reading, both academically and for pleasure. With reading high on the Ofsted agenda, this assembly is a good way of evidencing a whole school drive towards improving standards. I have recorded a voice over on each slide however this can be removed/scripted with your own members of staff.

KS3 Low Ability Literacy scheme of work (catch up) (10 lessons)

(1)
We used these 10 lessons with our lowest ability Y7 pupils in order to help them to develop basic literacy skills such as scanning texts, summarising information and decoding texts. They are based on engaging, low ability texts and cover fiction and non-fiction texts. Great for remote learning and the catch up curriculum.
GCSE English Language Imaginative Writing SOW

GCSE English Language Imaginative Writing SOW

(2)
This is a 6 week unit that teaches students how to write imaginatively for the new English Language GCSE specification. My lessons are created for Edexcel, though of course the skills being assessed are the same as with AQA and other exam boards. This unit will walk students through how to achieve highly in both AO5 and AO6, teaching them skills such as how to create imagery, use onomatopoeia whilst avoiding clichés, use literary devices for effect, use sentence constructions for effect, use other structural devices for effect, controlling both basic and more varied punctuation, and how to organise a narrative for impact. Included are also three grade 9 exemplars. Also includes six weeks of homework relating to higher level vocabulary and spelling. Powerpoints include detailed instructions so ideal for #homelearning

A Level English Language - Technology/Language Change - Texting

(1)
This 2 hour session explores how the English language has changed as a result of technological advancements with regards to texting, considering key terminology, a prescriptivist stance on language change and the affordances of texting with references to theories from Dr Wood and David Crystal. The assessment task at the end is designed for the OCR syllabus but can be easily adapted to suit other exam boards.

SPAG and writing skills scheme of work for KS3 students

This is a fully-resources scheme of work that I created for Year 7 students. After visiting a local primary school and learning more about the KS2 SATs requirements, I designed this scheme of work to ensure that our KS3 students continue to build on the skills learned in primary school. Every lesson has a powerpoint, worksheets, homework activities, differentiation (including differentiated learning objectives) and there are assessment opportunities built into the scheme of work.
