A stand alone lesson that takes students through a detailed analysis of the language techniques used in an extract from The Handmaid's Tale with regard to its position as a Dystopian Fiction text. The lesson is fully differentiated with stretch and challenge tasks whilst developing students independence.

With a distinct lack of exemplar papers available for the new Edexcel (9-1) GCSE English Language Exams I have constructed some papers and included mark schemes and indicative content as guidance. If you are looking for 19th Century Fiction papers there are several more in my resources/TES shop. Please do let me know what you think of these as happy to construct more.

This Literacy Programme is 2 of 3 for use with year 9s across an entire term and forms part of a newly written programme that builds on the strengthened demands of the KS2 literacy skills and the Year 7 and Year 8 Programmes also available on TES.

The powerpoint presentation is used to test the weekly skills gained by your students and allows you to track progress and build in additional intervention for areas of shortfall post completion. The subsequent booklets for use in this Programme will be posted imminently.

Following the success of the first resource I created on 'The PIcture of Dorian Gray' I have now created this second resource based on an extract from 'Oliver' by Charles Dickens. It is ideal for use with the Edexcel (9-1) English Language Specification. Due to the shortage of past papers to use in the classroom I have constructed this paper for use by teachers using this specification. The resources includes the extract, questions, mark scheme and indicative content. If you like this resource please do leave a review as am happy to construct more.

An extensive powerpoint that works through the entire play including contextual information, activities and assessment tasks that are aligned with the GCSE (9-1) specifications.
