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.

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 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 booklet has been created to be used alongside a PowerPoint (which can be made from this booklet) or on its own. It contains a lot of information for Key Stage 5 or college students on what to do and expect when preparing to live independently. Sections include: Before you leave When looking at halls of residence or renting Cleaning and Hygiene matters Saving on Utilities Medical Matters Duvet Togs Explained Finances: basic information about which ID to need, a student account, ISA and savings account Planning Meals Laundry Labels Top student accounts 2023/2024 ready for research The sections include personal help and experiences alongside hints and tips of what to do to prepare and begin living away from home. It was made to be used for a Key Stage 5 Enrichment programme once a fortnight and the feedback has been that it has proved very useful alongside a lesson and research with students being able to ask questions.

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!

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.

A skeleton resource to assist with the introduction of teaching CLA to Year 12 students. It goes through a combination of phonemes and graphemes to ensure that they understand how a child is introduced to both. The first lesson also enables the students to reflect on their own personal experiences of learning which they found very useful and understood how their learning impacted them on later life.

This scheme of work has been designed to recap the different sentence types and begin to think about how students describe to ensure they are adding description, but looking at the meaning behind the lessons. There are 13 lessons included in this scheme of learning, but some of them are slow writes which mean they can take more than one lesson so there could be roughly 17 out of them. This scheme of work was put in place to ensure students were given time to describe and have a go at writing, but also to look at how they introduce characters and how they can change them. Hope this helps!
