I believe in a lot for a little, or give it away. Teachers have to support each other, so most of my stuff is a whole term's work for a fiver or free. Boogie :-)

Bright Lights of Sarajevo Full lesson

Full lesson with PPT allowing middle to high ability pupils to closely analyse the poem in all its fantastic depth. I used this lesson to get myself a job in a prestigious school; the class were very able and super responsive. It’s not didactic, that’s not how I teach, so expect the pupils to get stuck in and give you plenty of feedback. It’s what they think that matters.

For each lesson there is a Powerpoint presentation and a differentiated close-reading Microsoft Word worksheet, plus a range of non-fiction activities designed to address the book’s historical context. This unit allows the teacher to study the book closely in parallel with class reading; it introduces the sensitive and complex subject matter incrementally, allowing Y7s or Y8s enough time and opportunity to best appreciate the shock of the book’s final event .

Complete unit of work beginning with KS3 work on ‘A Modest Proposal’, using ‘Viz’ comic and articles by Jeremy Clarkson to develop understanding of rhetorical devices, parody, satire and irony - then introducing KS4 work on Spoken Language presentations with examples and non-fiction based activities that in turn link to writing for a purpose for Paper 2 Q5. 4 long PPTs to support 12 activities and display work should yield 20 or more lessons depending on the ability of your group.

Mostly suitable for Y9 but would challenge an able Y8 class. It could be taught as part of your regular schemes of work, put together as a self-contained study booklet or used to support absent colleagues with its ‘copy and teach’ format. Each text has a PPT version of the poem to support class reading. Included: Introductory and all supporting Powerpoints Worksheets on all the following: (Including all source material) Extract from ‘The Iliad’ by Homer Extract from ‘The Knight’s Tale’ by Geoffrey Chaucer (2 lessons) ‘Before Agincourt’ – from ‘Henry V by William Shakespeare ‘Fears in Solitude’ – Samuel Taylor Coleridge ‘Napoleon’ – William Thackeray ‘Come up from the fields Father’ – Walt Whitman ‘The War Prayer’ – by Mark Twain ‘What the Bullet Sang’ – Brett Harte ‘In Snow’ – William Allingham ‘A soldier’s battle’ by Arthur Conan Doyle ‘Dirge of the Dead Sisters’ - Anon ‘Vitae Lampada – Sir Henry Newbolt ‘The City Clerk’ – J.A Nicklin ‘Who’s for the Game?’ – Jessie Pope ‘Fall In’ – Harold Begbie ‘I shouted for blood’ – Janet Begbie ‘The Hyaenas’ – Rudyard Kipling ‘The World in Armour’ – William Watson ‘Counter Attack’ – Siegfried Sassoon Extract from ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ by Erich Maria Remarque ‘Statement against the continuation of the War’ – Siegfried Sassoon

This is really useful for a disengaged GCSE class, using banned music videos as a starting point for spoken language or a piece of transactional writing. I’ve suggested some really interesting videos (all on Youtube) but I’m 50 now, and not as down with the kids as I used to be, so you’d probably want to augment the unit with some gangsters shooting each other or scantily clad dancers with gold teeth smoking decidedly dodgy looking Vape machines. Or something.
