I've created two lessons for Ozymandias. Lesson 1 focuses on meaning and context and lesson 2 focuses on structure and language analysis. All resources are included in the PowerPoint slides. This PowerPoint was adapted from a PowerPoint I found on TES so not everything you see is original. Let me know if this is helpful and I'd be keen to hear how your lessons go.

A lesson used with both year 10 and 11 for GCSE prep. Eases students into question with summarising differences between images before applying to texts. Mark scheme included in powerpoint - this can be used to ask students what the examiner is looking for and therefore needs to be in their response.

A comprehensive lesson to assist students in gaining knowledge of the poem, practicing unseen poetry skills and developing a written response.

I created this lesson to support my low ability year 10 class to understand and practice inference skills as well as explore first impressions of Dr. Jekyll. (AQA 2017 Spec) Let me know if you find this helpful and if you have any questions.

A KS4 revision lesson on the themes of mystery and tension in The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Aimed at grades 4-6 but can be adapted to suit all abilities. Learning objectives: Identify and explain Stevenson’s methods for creating tension and mystery in Jekyll and Hyde.

I have created a resource that allows students to revise key themes and characters in the context of an exam style question. This resource is designed to be used to demonstrate progress over time and allows students to practise annotating extracts for the exam. These can be adapted for any texts on the AQA Literature Paper 1. These worksheets should last an entire lesson and I have used them in the following way: ✔Read the question to students and ask them to write in the initial ideas box. What could they say about that character or theme if they had to answer that question in an exam? ✔Get students to work through the extracts on the sheet. They need to annotate, identify any techniques/ writers’ methods and annotate with WHY they highlighted it. I say to the students, if you can’t say why you highlighted it, it will be very challenging to explain in an essay. ✔Discuss findings as a class and finally fill in the final response box. This can either be bullet points, detailed plan for the question or the beginnings of an essay on the question. Year 11 students have praised this resource saying that they find it incredibly useful for the range of skills it covers and helps them to identify gaps in their knowledge for further revision at home. I hope you find this useful. Any feedback or comments would be greatly appreciated.
