(1)
A blended approach using the BLM protests as a theme to explore the AQA unseen and Language Paper 2. Contains 2-3 lessons. It begins discussing the BLM movement and some background around this with a broadsheet article. This information is then used to analyse an unseen poem. Students are then asked to write letter to their local MP about things they think are wrong in society.

AQA Unseen Poetry - Coronavirus

Two lessons focusing on question 1 of the unseen (AQA Section C) based on Nikita Gill’s poem ‘Love in the Time of Coronavirus’. I used these for remote learning but can also be used in normal lessons. Lesson 1: structured approach on how to approach & analyse an unseen poem and plan an answer. Lesson 2: step-by-step how-to detailing how to turn the plan from the previous lesson into an essay response. There are teacher models, sentence starters & criteria for each step. It also contains a learning mat that could be used for other lessons. There are also poems that could be compared to the original poem to help structure a lesson for Q2 but I haven’t planned this fully myself yet.

Deadpool Structure Lesson AQA Paper 1 Question 3

(0)
This is a lesson I used for a Year 11 class as an introduction to structure. I chose to start with a video clip rather than a text as I wanted to encourage them to talk about structure and referencing events, rather than falling back into their comfort zone of analysing language. Very engaging lesson due to the topic, particularly for boys. It is fully differentiated and resourced, including model answers, a ‘help desk’ and tick list assessment criteria. It could be split over 2 lessons, if needed.

Literatube - AQA Literature Revision

(0)
This is a revision resource that allows students to self-select the literature text they would like to revise. Students write their name on an oyster card and stick it to the tube map on the board at one of the 4 start points. I then print off the activity sheets. They need to complete the activities to move along the tracks, aiming to reach ‘terminus’. As they complete each activity, they should move their oyster card along on the board so the teacher can track what activities students are completing and their pace. Where lines interact, students will create connections between texts. There are a range of activities, such as tables, drawing (dual-coding), paragraphs and mind-maps to add variety. It’s a great student-led and self-motivated revision task. The texts revised in this are: Jekyll and Hyde An Inspector Calls Poetry Love & Relationships Romeo & Juliet

The Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde SoW AQA GCSE

(0)
A comprehensive 31 lesson SoW about Robert Louis Stevenson’s ‘The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’. It focuses on building knowledge, comprehension and exam technique. Each chapter lesson focuses on key analysis-rich extracts. It works chronologically, building to an end of unit assessment. Some lessons are inspired by Chris Curtis & Fiona Folan’s book, 'Ready to Teach: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde." I’ve also included my whole-class marking sheets just in case they’re useful. I’ve taught this text for 10 years and it’s one of my favourites to teach so I hope you might enjoy it as much as I do :).
