This is a PPT lesson guiding you through teaching Question 1 letter writing for CIE IGCSE English as a First Language. It uses The Hunger Games as a text, looking at the Interview scene. Included is one full PPT (this took me around 3 hours to teach fully), a mock CIE assessment Q1 based on The Hunger Games, a planning sheet and an example insert annotated for the three bullet points.

Three lessons on the topic of informal letter writing. This was intended for CIE IGCSE English as a Second Language question 6, but could be used also with KS3. 1. Generating ideas - four different routes into coming up with ideas for letter writing (PPT) 2. Formal/informal language with a variety of activities and model answers (PPT) 3. Peer assessment (PPT) This also comes with a success criteria based on the CIE mark scheme.

This resources includes a PowerPoint detailed notes on the poem ‘In Paris With You’ by James Fenton. It has a short quote quiz and guides pupils through analysing the key theme of unconventional love in the poem. Also included is a RAG rating (feedback sheet) and a follow up lesson with individual tasks for each student based on their feedback.

This lesson focuses on the characterisation of Beatrice and Benedick with a focus on word level analysis. Suitable for the 2016/17 OCR English Literature New Specification. This is a Smart Doc file.

These two lessons focus on introducing the skills needed for the OCR English Literature (new spec). I focus on word level analysis and identifying language features.

This scheme of work is aimed at KS3, building up the skills needed for OCR's English Literature New Spec GCSE. This presentation includes 5 whole lessons. These lessons look at The Yellow Wallpaper, focusing on language analysis skills (AO2) and building in historical context (AO3), specifically looking at feminism in the late 1800s. Full copies of the text are available for free online - which I printed off for pupils to use alongside this scheme.
