Resources developed with the back-end of Year 11 in mind, to remind students of the key points for each question and act as a “walking talking” style chain of 4-5 lessons. I have also included a standalone lesson that introduces the concepts of focus and shift to students, which can be used as a fun way in to Question 3, using LEGO. The main PowerPoint also includes a lesson on writing creatively about deep sea creatures, using the Jaws extract as an exemplar.

A unit taking pupils through each of the poems in the Power and Conflict AQA cluster. Each lesson is broken into “Four Minutes of Focus” sections where pupils will learn the most important concepts for each poem, punctuated by linked tasks to suit all abilities and styles of learner. These lessons would work perfectly as revision towards examination time, or as a “first look” for newer classes. A bundle of all of my poetry resources, including this scheme, is here

A 30-lesson scheme of work including PowerPoints, differentiated resources and assessments created with middle ability Year 8 in mind, but suitable across the range of ability at Key Stage 3. The bulk of the unit is based around a class reading of the Phillip Pullman play adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, and interleaved with this are lessons covering a range of both modern and classic gothic texts. Some resources and activities deliberately constructed as a feed-in to AQA Language and Literature skills.

A bundle of Knowledge Organisers for Jekyll & Hyde, Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth and Animal Farm. Can be used as table mats, revision resources or learning aids. Each mat is colour-coded to different ideas, and can be easily edited to suit different classes.

These fifteen worksheets allow students to explore the key ideas, themes and features of each poem in the cluster. Perfect for homework, cover work, revision or independent study. Each worksheet also includes reminders of the AQA Assessment Objectives to aid with exam-style answers. Each element of the worksheets can be edited to suit personal or class needs.

Two quizzes for the first Act, and one quiz for each of Act Two and Act Three. Each quiz comes in a printable version too. Perfect for repetitive revision or starter activities in lesson.

8-question quizzes on each of the fifteen Power and Conflict poems for AQA Literature. Perfect as lesson starters or short homework. Works well with the Key Ideas Powerpoint slides also available through my TES profile.

A full lesson and resources used for a successful Year 6 Transition Day, where pupils were challenged with a range of both reading and writing activities. Could also be used at KS2 or KS3 level as the basis for some extended creative writing.

Single-sided revision pages for each poem. Includes the poem text and four different revision activities for each poem. Perfect for pupils who want to keep their AQA-issued anthology neat and tidy!

A double-sided knowledge organiser suitable for Key Stage 3 classes studying Of Mice and Men. Includes characters, themes, contextual information and other useful information.

PPT slides and a resource designed to provide 2-3 lessons’ worth of independent revision. Pupils can either use the provided resources independently and build their knowledge organiser, or the PPT can be used as a teaching aid to deliver lecture-style revision.

A booklet summarising the key events, quotations and context for each Chapter of Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde. Each page neatly summarises each chapter, as well as providing important quotations and contextual information linked to the events from that chapter. There are also challenge tasks for higher-level students to think about and attempt as they revise.

A full scheme of work taking pupils through several activities based on key elements from the play. Designed to be worked through alongside either a reading or viewing of the play. Designed with Year 7 in mind, but resources could be adapted to suit other year groups. The final assessment for the unit is a reading assessment, based around simplified GCSE success criteria.

A double-sided resource designed to be printed and laminated for regular use. Quotes are colour-coded by difficulty - green, amber, red, then blue for more challenging quotes.

A lesson-long role playing game in which pupils imagine themselves as an itinerant worker in 1930s America. They need to make difficult choices, and manage their finances, in order to achieve the American Dream and buy their own house by the end of the game. Great for introducing pupils to contextual concepts around the text, or as a pre-reading activity.
