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.

Here is a 30 page Key Stage 4 Literacy Booklet which is designed for intervention for low ability KS4 students or in class use (there is lined paper to answer questions embedded). The exam board is AQA and this booklet is in the STYLE of this at the end. Below is what is in the booklet for you: The booklet begins with students: revising punctuation identifying word classes going over inference skills And then the students have a quiz to recap what they have done. The booklet then continues with: extract and language focus questions quote exploding some quotations with language features language focus question comprehension skills on a Harry Potter extract language match up table expanding language features reading activities choices page Then the booklet moves to: more AQA style questions giving an overview of paper 1 and paper 2 Great Expectations by Charles Dickens focus by practicing paper 1 questions 1, 2 and 5 Extract from Jane Eyre and then tasks to follow with paper 1, questions 1, 2 and 5 focus Then a final vocabulary gathering activity My students found this helpful and communication with parents/carers was great over this. We started it in Year 10 and then went back to bits in Year 11.

Here is a small booklet including transition work for the open days of A Level English Literature - it is a small booklet to aid teaching the class for the new recruits!

A low ability lesson for Year 10 when starting to teach power and conflict poetry. Mine liked it due to the videos that aided the lesson.

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.

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 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.

Some of these resources are for paper 2 question 4, English Language A Level directed writing task. Lots of articles included for analysing with the students, for independent work or under a visualiser. Included is also a mark scheme from AQA or a created one for the class to mark their work.

A series of mock assessment questions for Year 9 leading up to end of year exams - really good for in class practice using the mark scheme to mark them.

Another cover or poetry analysis grid. Part of our unseen poetry scheme where students had scaffolded questions and were taken through a series of tasks to complete. Worked well.

A cover sheet or full poetry analysis lesson with Mother Any Distance - this was part of our unseen poetry scheme whereby students were guided through a series of questions considering authorial intent.

Attached is approximately a 9 lesson scheme for the teaching of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie. There is also an 11 page revision booklet that takes students through key quotes linking to the crime genre, key character quotes, general quotes and all have tasks underneath them. The booklet also includes specific revision tasks linking to the crime genre, the investigation and Christie’s authorial intent and it also has activities on the back that link to the overview of the text. Some lessons were substituted by reading and annotating the novel, and some lessons were PowerPoint based and some were worksheet based. After the first few chapters, the worksheets assist the analysis of chapters with clue or misdirections and there are some articles to read to analyse Christie’s writing and her lifestyle, considering how these affected the planning and writing of TMORA.

Here are 8 lessons on Peter Grimes for A Level (annotating will have taken place within these lessons as well). There are a range of PowerPoint slides and worksheets to be completed (either in class, independent study or homework). The lessons focus on lines 1 - 153 with having looked at and annotated lines 1 - 200 in terms of annotating. When teaching this poem for the first time, I found that if I concentrated and took it slowly up to line 153, the class could then feel confident about continuing their own annotations in small groups/pairs and then feeding back to one another.

This is a booklet using The Handmaid’s Tale focusing on question 3 structure and question 4 evaluation revision for Year 11. It’s designed for a set 2 and a set 3 in mind. There are bits of advice, flipped learning questions, analysis of questions (to be done under the visualiser), mark schemes for those questions and model answers that can be adapted and then carried on.

A 6 week homework booklet designed for recalling what had been covered in lesson. At no point was this put together to necessarily challenge but more to reiterate and strengthen what had been studied from tasks and the novella. I found it useful and students learnt and recapped ideas easier which then assisted the learning within lesson. Great for going through under a visualiser and peer assessing answers, and for stengthening speaking and listening.

Made for a set 3 target grades 4-6 English Literature group. These 5 lessons were designed for a first reading of A Christmas Carol - the lessons took longer than 5 hours as I also used the Disney version to play sections of the film to clarify what was happening, but there was a lot of modelling when we annotated the novella under visualisers and completed an assessment as well. There are close reading sections with an abundance of analysis questions, quotation focus tasks and theme and plot questions too.

This lesson goes through the poem for a low ability group. It has activities about the soldier’s feelings, an overview of the poem and then some focused quotation analysis linking to technique finding and why Owen will have written it. Students enjoyed this lesson before going into more detail later on in the year.
