This contains 3 lessons for The Laboratory with integrated context, analysis and tasks for students to complete when teaching The Laboratory. I have also included a copy of the annotated poem to assist the teaching of this poem. The three lessons will last 3 hours and when annotating the poem, this should be done under a visualiser. The tasks for students could be set as independent study time or homework, and will assist the further learning of the course.

This is 6 lessons worth of a cover booklet focusing on Key Stage 4 AQA English Language Paper 2 and Poetry Tasks. This was set for a low ability group so there may be more than 5 lessons attached.

This lesson has been used to go over War Photographer and Storm on the Island - both poems have been pre-read and looked at, but not in lots of detail. The lesson is to a mid to low ability Year 10 group. The lesson takes students through vocabulary tacking and understanding, and also what’s happening in Storm on the Island through a storyboard activity, before then leading to planning how conflict is presented in War Photographer and Storm on the Island. I hope it’s helpful!

This is a word document including some of the events in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. The class need to decide whether the events from the chapters (Chapters 5-8) are either Christie’s clues or misdirections given to confuse the readers.

Here we have two lessons in one powerpoint exploring the narrative plot and framing devices that Christie uses. There are slides with tasks on and other slides for students to take notes from. I have also included a document which is like a transcript for the lesson going through the information minus the tasks. The lesson should take two lessons and it is the students considering Christie’s authorial methods whilst also understanding the ending. It is the assumption that students have already read the whole novel. It is going over set-piece ending, framing devices and back to focalisation. Hopefully this will help when teaching.

Adapted Kamikaze poem for my low ability sets. Quote sheets and questions in the PPT - those slides will need to be printed off.

Attached is a PowerPoint lesson that could stretch over 3 hours depending on the ability of your group. It goes over the first ideas of the poem, has an author study sheet, includes a terminology recap, questions for zoomed in parts of the poem and then a discussion about how it compares with other poems. It took one of my lower ability groups just shy of 3 lessons and that includes a live modelled annotated poem from me. They did enjoy it and said it helped them break it down.

This is the FOURTH booklet in my Literacy series! It has been designed for low ability KS4, KS3 (or maybe KS2) students to recap certain skills to cement their knowledge. This was designed for students struggling with skills for in class intervention and used for homework. It does mention Literacy Booklet 1, Literacy Booklet 2 AND Literacy Booklet 3 (available from my store). There are a range of activities in this booklets like: finding the nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in the sentences and describe the images, sorting these 4 techniques into boxes (like the noun task but on a bigger scale), finding verbs within a text and then saying the effect of them, the use of adverbs and considering the effect of them, recap of similes by finding them in a longer text and then further work on metaphors - two pages - and explaining which parts of the text are actual metaphors and then identifying what bits are being compared…and FINALLY (as before) a self assessment at the end.

This is the SECOND booklet in my Literacy series! It has been designed for KS3 (or maybe KS2) students to recap certain skills to cement their knowledge.

An updated version of the Literacy booklet - lots of activities within the booklet to assist students with literacy. These I have used for a couple of years now to support students in what they should be doing day-to-day. They can be used stand alone, to support lessons or as a small task to break lessons up. Pages 3-4: Capital letters Pages 5: Using full stops Pages 6-7: Capital letters and full stops Pages 8-9: Nouns Pages 10-11: Adjectives Page 12: Verbs Page 13: Improving your vocabulary Page 14: Self-assessment after using the booklet

Included in this booklet is: Tasks and information on introduction and plot with quotations Direct quotations that link to the crime elements Key information on setting, characters, plot and themes/crime elements Revision task ideas - specific to the novel Chapter by Chapter summary of the novel More quotations that could link to the investigation, revelations and the plot Responding to an interpretation for the novel Each section has tasks on them and these are for teaching or revision purposes. My Year 12 class found very useful before the mock exam and they will take this into Year 13. It has helped focus our attention on certain elements and chapters moving forward as well.

This booklet was designed for my students to think about section B or C in Paper 2 and then consider section C and comparing When Will There Be Good News and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. The 12 page booklet contains information and tasks for the students to complete. The booklet contains: A brief summary of WWTBGN Chapter by Chapter task Key quotations from WWTBGN chapter by chapter Central theme in WWTBGN Comparison of WWTBGN and TMORA Links between crime elements in both WWTBGN and TMORA There are multiple tasks to consider as students work through the booklet and my students found this very helpful for their mock exams and exams as they found it focused their attention more.

These two PPTs go through how to teach top set students (to be delivered in a hall of set 1s and set 2s) how to adapt their writing ensuring they are focusing on expanding their ideas. Not only does this allow students to explore ideas linking them together, but it also gives them an introduction and first paragraph. It should be noted that these will not be able to be replicated perfectly in the exam, but they should aim high to be able to recreate what they need to in order to gain the top marks.

This lesson is designed to assist A Level English Language students on preparing to write their commentary element for their coursework. The PPT should be introduced over two lessons and have examples of a commentary attached to it (I have included two examples from my students from previous years). The lesson should be printed (certain slides should be) for the students to follow and assist their own levels of analysis. To plan, get the students to have a look at the language levels that link together then create paragraphs analysing them referencing the style model as they go. My biggest tip would be to get students to write paragraphs based on the language levels first, and then see if they can piece together the essay with those paragraphs. My students seem to discuss the style model too much to begin with, rather than analysing their own work referencing the style models. Hope this helps!
