This final lesson in this collection of resources asks students to consider the cyclical nature of some of the narrative strands, whilst also acknowledging the chronological order of Silas and Eppie's life together that breaks free from this structure. This lesson revisits the question of predetermined fate examined in earlier lessons and links back to the context against which this novel was written.

These newly constructed questions are designed to reflect the higher challenge of the new 9-1 specification. These can be used as homework tasks, tutoring activities, discussion groups, oral essays or written exam practice.

This resource is an original constructed paper in the style of the AQA (9-1) exam papers based on the novel ‘The Children of Men’ by P D James. This novel considers a futuristic society in which the last generation has been born and provides a fascinating extract for analysis, particularly for reluctant boys! If you like this resource do follow me as further exemplar papers are in the process of being constructed and will be put up shortly. This resource will also be made available as part of a Bundle of AQA resources at a 50% discount, so watch this space!

This resource contains 3 non fiction text extracts across the 19th, 20th and 21st century together with 3 separate question papers in line with the specifications for AQA, OCR and Edexcel. It is a perfect resource for parents to use to work with their children for revision, for tutors covering a number of specifications, teachers who are looking for a new paper as well as students who are looking for some extra practice. A marking service is available with this product on application via my Twitter page @jomarsh1. (£1 per paper)

This resource is designed to support pinpointed revision. When students struggle to answer one type of question, the best way to improve grades is to offer them multiple questions of the same type to aid progression. This resource offers exactly that: the first four questions are differentiated in numerous different ways, exemplar responses, clozed activities, top tips to guide responses without giving it all to the student and open questioning, whilst the remaining six questions are straightforward tasks. This resource works as well for homework tasks, as it does for starter activities or those times when some are absent (in exams) and others need some consolidation of skills. This resource works hand in hand with the resource for Question 1 too (link below), the remaining question types will be posted up soon. Happy revision! https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-9-1-english-language-revision-find-questions-12046526

These resources introduce students to the themes contained in this text, explores the characterisation of Silas Marner and uses some engaging kinaesthetic activities (Human Weaving Machine and Court Room) to capture the imaginations of students who might find studying 19th century fiction more difficult. Chapter 2 is also included here and concentrates predominantly on teaching students 'how to' analyse extracts at GCSE level. If you like this resource please follow me as more resources are being prepared on this text and will be released very soon.

This lesson includes a range of tasks to engage students, including information on context and interpretations of the poem. The lesson includes extension activities, grading criteria and DIRT tasks. This is a really effective lesson to use when studying poetry at KS3 level to gently introduce students to the strengthened demands of the GCSE (9-1) syllabus.

This resource is a collection of 6 Literary Non Fiction articles traversing subjects such as Travel, Poverty, London, Class, Men and Women and Schooling. Hopefully this will save others a little time when teaching this part of the English Language courses that use this aspect of our literary heritage.

Following the success of my first collection of 19th century non fiction extracts, here is a further collection with 6 more extracts for practice analysis.

A revision guide that includes context, characters, themes and key quotations. Perfect for any students who need a quick leg up for the GCSE (9=1) exams this summer.

This lesson uses a paper thematically linked to 'Space' and takes students through a series of leading questions in order to help them break down the methods they can use to approach this final question on the Non Fiction paper. It also includes reference to PALS as a method of talking about authors ideas and perspectives. My year 11 group found this lesson enormously clarifying as a revision lesson.

This resource offers a creative lesson for students studying English Language on papers that require students to ‘find’ information. This lesson is centred around earning Exit Passes (lolly sticks) and a Blind Style learning Activity to ensure that the most able are able to construct mark schemes and all students work in a supported environment. This lesson offers an imaginative route into a question that can otherwise be a little dry: it also works towards ALL students achieving full marks on this question and offers a range of 10 texts on which to practise this skill, including answers to all questions.

These resources consider the context, form, language and structure in this poem through activities, discussion, note taking and creative activities. This resource includes an assessment proforma to evidence progression of learning and to help students identify key aspects of the text ready for revision nearer to their GCSE exams.

This lesson includes a number of engaging activities to draw students into this subtly complex poem. I have designed this lesson primarily for use when teaching the Cambridge IGCSE specifications (0475 and (0992) (2020-2021 syllabuses) although this would equally make an excellent study of an Unseen Poem at GCSE or the study of Other Cultures Poetry for a KS3 curriculum. One of the activities in this resource requires ‘sweets’: some sweet and some sour…these are not included in this resource, but make for an exciting and memorable lesson that helps students see the ‘effect’ of the poets methods in a highly kinaesthetic way.

This fully differentiated and detailed resource takes students through the context, form, language and structure in a clear, effective and engaging way. This resource would suit teaching for GCSE poetry anthologies or as a guide to approaching Unseen Poetry and would work for both KS3 students and KS4. Contextual links make this particularly relevant to teaching in Black History Week. There is everything here to secure an excellent grade on this poem that features in the new GCSE (9-1) specifications.

This lesson introduces KS3 students to the conventions of the Detective Genre using short film clips and a fun game. This works really well as either the first lesson of a topic on this genre or as a transition day activity as the students will enjoy the lesson and be left feeling that studying English is not always reading and writing.

This resource takes you through a range of activities that explore language, form and structure alongside thematic links and theory. This lesson incorporates drama activities and creative activities to ensure students enjoy learning about Shakespeare's play. This lesson will take between 5-7 hours in teaching time. This is also available as part of a complete unit of work on this text if preferred.
