Quick quiz on chapter 14 with answers, I’m making them do it from memory, but could also be used alongside the text as a comprehension activity.

An overview of the historical and literary influences on Modern Literature and the transition from the Victorian Period. I have used this after students have researched the area themselves as a way of summarising key ideas and findings rather than 'information overload' on the slides themselves.

A visual resource guiding students through writing a description of people and of characters. Suitable for Key Stage 3.

A worksheet designed to take students through exploring language in a poem. Could be used as unseen poetry practice, or could be used after to teaching the poem to assess learning. Questions are suited to Key Stage 3 or lower ability Key Stage 4.

This resource is a colourful A3 activity sheet which takes students through the poem in a way which requires them to think about the effect of Byron's choices, without giving them 'the answers'. Could be used as an independent task as an introduction to the poem or unseen poetry practice, or could be completed in small groups or pairs as a discussion tool. Could also be a useful revision tool.

This presentation takes students through the planning process for comparing the presentation of Romeo in Luhrmann's film version of 'Romeo and Juliet' with Shakespeare's presentation of his character in the play. It is not a scaffold and does not tell students what to write, it is more a guide for how to plan and structure a comparative response.

A PowerPoint presentation aimed to encourage independent responses to unseen poetry. Can be used in KS3 and KS4 - it is not poem specific, allowing you to use your choice of poem/poems and to differentiate. Includes opportunity for paired discussion and independent writing.

A detailed PowerPoint presentation with several hours worth of material exploring chapters 16 and 17 and the significance of the fancy dress ball. The slides include analysis and interpretation, discussion questions, a group debate and writing tasks. Designed with AQA A Level English Literature in mind, but could easily be adapted to suit other exam boards.

A selection of 16 quotes from the novel, presented visually for display. I've used PowerPoint as printing the slides to A4 whole pages keeps formatting as desired. There is also the option of printing to A3 for individual posters, or print the whole lot for a colourful display.

A series of discussion based questions, which prompt student to compare the presentation of 'truth and deception' in 'A Streetcar Named Desire' and 'The Color Purple'.
