I initially used this with a Year 7 class, but it could be pitched at a higher level if necessary.
The unit of work covers creative and analytical writing, with the occasional drama activity thrown in for good measure. There are a number of places where you would need to edit the slides:
Slide 29 references a Padlet that the students have to contribute to. I’ve taken out my Padlet - you will have to include yours, or Padlet alternative.
There are several mentions of page numbers - you will have to alter these according to the page numbers of wherever you sources the texts from.
The preparation for assessment / assessment / assessment feedback slides are specific to my school’s assessment policies. You would need to edit these so that they fit in with whatever you school has in place.
A3 sheet that students can use for planning persuasive speeches, debates, etc.
Sections are:
attention grabbing opening
thesis / main idea
reason #1 > evidence #1 > evidence #2
reason #2 > evidence #1 > evidence #2
counter-argument > rebuttal > evidence
closing statement / final pleas / call to action
Includes PDF and DOC file types.
This is a full length unit of work, including resources in .doc and .pdf formats and a 108-slide PowerPoint presentation. The unit was originally delivered to a Year 7 class, but could be pitched upwards to any KS3 year group.
The unit focuses on non-fiction writing based around documents related to a crime scene. Students learn the conventions of reports, newspaper articles, interview transcripts. They also read some crime fiction, create their own “Crime Scene Dossier” and take part in a courtroom trial activity.
Please note that the slides in the PowerPoint that relate to assessment are based on my current school’s assessment policies and you should adjust these as appropriate to reflect those of your own school.

A fully resourced unit of work based on the ‘choose-your-own-adventure’ fantasy story ‘The Forest of Doom’ by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone.
This was originally taught to Year 7s, but could be pitched upwards to any KS3 class. It includes activites on descriptive writing, the fantasy genre, verb tense, narrative point of view, etc, etc.
The resource contains a 112 slide PowerPoint presentation, and complete additional readings, worksheets, planning sheets, etc in both .doc and .pdf formats.
Some things to bear in mind:
The assessment slides of this unit of work are based on a particular assessment policy. You may need to make alterations in order for it to fit in with your own school’s policies.
Part of the unit of work is working in groups to create their own ‘choose-your-own-adventure’ fantasy story. This section is both very time-consuming and quite difficult for both teacher and student to get right. If you want to challenge yourself and your students, and you have the time, go ahead and try it. Otherwise, you may want to cut that section.
YouTube links are current at the time of writing (early 2019).
This is a full length unit of work that studies the Gothic genre, including a 125-slide PowerPoint presentation, and numerous worksheets and handouts in both .doc and .pdf formats.
The unit was originally taught to a Year 9 class, and could, with a minimum of editing, be taught to pupils in KS4 and KS5, if the material were used and presented appropriately.
The unit covers discusses what is a story, the seven basic plot types, the conventions of Gothic writing, Victorian Gothic, the influence of the Gothic today, the Enlightenment and Romanticism, characterisation, creating atmosphere in writing, and lots more.
The unit was taught in conjunction with ‘Gothic Short Stories’ which is available https://www.amazon.com/Gothic-Short-Stories-Mystery-Supernatural/dp/1840224258/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1549080647&sr=1-3&keywords=Gothic+Short+Stories. The book is not strictly necessary, however, and you can still teach the unit with your own Gothic resources.
The assessment section of the PowerPoint contains references to assessment policies of the school it was originally meant to be taught in, and these slides will have to be modified to suit your own school.
