Lucy's English lessons

Average Rating1.33
(based on 6 reviews)

I write schemes of work for English literature as well as English language and creative writing. My lessons have all been used to teach my classes and have been adapted to work well. I teach in a school which uses its own GCSE-level literature qualification, so I have some lessons on unusual texts. I've also got lessons on many of the Edexcel A Level texts. I've taught AQA, Edexcel GCSE and iGCSE, so have a range of useful resources to share.

writing a leaflet (for Edexcel iGCSE)

(0)
This lesson suggests how to write a leaflet for a transactional writing task. The final slide has the Edexcel iGCSE mark scheme but the lesson works fine if you’re with a different exam board.

iGCSE Q5 comparison Passage to Africa revision

(0)
Lesson resources for the comparison question on the Edexcel iGCSE exam paper: Q5 /22marks. This uses ‘A Passage to Africa’, along with an ‘unseen’ text. There are detailed notes which suggest areas of comparison as well as exemplar writing and paragraph starters. There’s a summary of what is on the iGCSE exam paper at the start.
Scheme of work for A Streetcar Named Desire

Scheme of work for A Streetcar Named Desire

17 Resources
This is a great scheme of work that I’ve refined over the years I’ve taught A Streetcar Named Desire. It has roughly one lesson per scene although I don’t seem to have a lesson for the final scene - by that time I think students know what they’re doing! This bundle includes my very detailed and comprehensive notes on plastic theatre in each scene as well as links to music recordings.
GCSE creative writing exam technique

GCSE creative writing exam technique

(0)
This lesson gives a choice of writing tasks and works through good things to include and common mistakes to avoid for creative writing. There’s a bit about how to use colons, avoiding comma splices, tense confusion and cliches. Could be used as an independent lesson or taught.

Useful notes on poetic form

This might be for students or teachers. It explains commonly used poetic forms and how form might relate to meaning in the poem. It is useful for higher level GCSE students or A Level students and includes examples from lots of well-known poems used on various syllabuses.

This set of 4 lessons on The Story of an Hour has resources for understanding the way women are presented in 19th century art and literature, annotating The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin, prose structural features and writing analysis of the text. I’ve also included teacher notes on the text.

Improving transactional writing

This lesson suggests ways for students to improve transactional writing through considering the audience, intended structure, varied vocabulary and punctuation and sentence types. Students need a previous piece of work to edit for the lesson.
