Find included a scheme of work with all activities, power-points and resources for teaching a broad introduction to Shakespeare, geared at KS3.

Part three comprises the histories (Richard III, Henry V and Julius Ceasar) and also the tragedies (Romeo & Juliet and Antony & Cleopatra) .

I created these resources for my GCSE English class. I've split the resources into the 5 acts, with power-points and activities included for each scene. The focus is language, forms and features, stagecraft, Shakespeare's context (basically everything from A01-A03!) Enjoy

This power-point is designed to be taught over a term/two terms for the GCSE topic in the literature paper. Find included all resources on themes, context, investigation of language and stagecraft and everything else you need for teaching this play. A01-3 are covered in complex detail, and there are about 25-30 lessons of content included altogether. I designed this resource for my higher ability year 10 class, who have just started their GCSE course.

Apologies for having to break this into two parts, TES has size limits. I designed this SOW (all power-points and worksheets included) for the GCSE study of Mice & Men (Lit paper). Power-points work through the text scene by scene and investigate language, build analysis skills and connections made between text and context. In Pt2, essay writing skills and a summative assessment are included.

A series of 8 lessons looking at the Unseen Poetry section of the GCSE Paper 2. Both the 24 mark question and the 8 mark comparison question are covered.

This PP can be taught over a few lessons either during or after a study of "The Hobbit". The purpose of these activities is to build creative writing skills in the fantasy genre. The PP discusses how the genre (with the Hobbit as an example) crafts character, world building, and language and style. Price is set due to my own research spanning various fantasy texts (specifically the character study of pro/antagonists). I delivered this as a talk to year 9 while visiting another school, and later taught it alongside a Hobbit novel study with a year 8 class.

A non-fiction unit based around the concept of "freedom". All power-points and activities included. Students investigate the concept of freedom and how persuasive features are used in a range of non-fiction texts, such as memoirs, essays, articles and speeches. I created this unit for my middle-range year 8 class. Enjoy!

Lots of creative activities allow students to apply these skills to the crafting of their own non-fiction texts. Lessons included cover forms/topics such as: newspaper articles, brochures and advertisements.

A scheme of work with 15 lessons, all power-points, resources and activities included. I created this for my year high ability year 7 class- is suitable for KS3 or low ability KS4.

Skills are focused around identifying language techniques and writing both critically and creatively, while understanding the role of myth storytelling in human literary history.
