Excellent revision resource with Jekyll and Hyde key quotations categorised with characters and themes.

For any year group to inspire gothic themed creative writing, but I used this with my Year 8s and 9s after studying Susan Hill’s ‘Woman in Black.’

Used as a H/W task with my second set Year Ten class after discovering that a majority of them had developed the bad habit of 'quotation bombing.' The model examples and practice points and quotations can be easily adapted to suit any text; I have used the AQA 'Women in Prison' source materials from a specimen Paper Two.

Effective revision activity for GCSE English Language and Literature or can be adapted for KS3 students. Provides model sentence stems and requires students to match them to the aspects of a PEEZ paragraph.

Supported activity with ‘No Fear’ Shakespeare extract of Lady Macbeth reacting to Macbeth’s letter. Ideal for mixed Year 9 students or weaker KS4 students. PEEZ sentence starters and a writing task.

Selection of activities presented as a menu for Key Stage 3 library based lessons - could be used as homework or cover lesson activity.

Revision lesson for less able students on ‘The Carew Murder Case’ from Stevenson’s Jekyll and Hyde. Includes opportunities to revise previous chapters, close language analysis and discuss Victorian attitudes to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Cloze Chapters 1-4 summaries (sold separately for £1) included when purchasing Powerpoint for this lesson.

Extended extract from Aron Ralston’s account of getting trapped by a boulder in Utah and being forced to amputate his own arm with a multitool. On last page have included some tasks. Probably best for Year 9, 10 and 11. Effective for exploring how tension and suspense is created through language.

Pretty much ready to print (just change due day/date) and you have a comprehensive collection of spellings suitable for all secondary age students. Students need to write the words into sentences too to prove they have learnt the words. Simple but effective H.W!

A lesson starter/main activity to start a unit of work on Shakespeare’s play ‘The Tempest’. Encourages students to consider how new discoveries were being brought back to England at the time the play was set.

Smartboard slides (so won't work unless you have the necessary SMART notebook software) that were originally created by me for a now redundant Year Seven SoW. Could be adapted for any Key Stage Three class looking at the history of the English Language or Chaucer. If you have SMART notebook software, you can access the other files that accompany the scheme (copies of extracts/worksheets etc.) through the paperclip icon either to the left or right of the smartboard slides.

A couple of simple superhero themed synonym tasks to appeal particularly to boys.

Some stimulus material to help students decide who would play the roles of Curley and Curley's wife in a brand new, big budget film production of &'Of Mice and Men.&';

Could be an extension activity/H/W, cover work or could begin a thought provoking discussion about how conscientious objectors should be remembered. Ties in well with studying war poetry. Used successfully with both a top set and mixed ability Year Eight classes.

Edited Metro article used within a Year Eight SoW about rants. Worksheet provides simple language analysis tasks as well as a selection of writing challenges.

Grid to support writing about the character of Crooks. Can easily be adapted for most abilities, used this with my (lower) mixed ability Year Nines. I provided points, gave specific page numbers for Section Four so they could find relevant quotations and sentence starters for their explanations. Page numbers refer to the Penguin edition 'Of Mice and Men' (pictured in cover image.) Could be used when teaching Section Four. I'm expecting they'll be able to use this grid to support them in writing an analysis assessment - consisting of around 4/5 paragraphs, analysing the character of Crooks; could be adapted to other characters.

Suitable for homeworks, extension tasks and cover work.

Categorised by theme, great revision resource.

Students are given nine statements about Goole which they have to support with appropriate quotations (I have compiled some quotations as 'answers'.) If adapted for other characters, it could ensure all GCSE Literature students studying the play could have a bank of relevant quotations to memorise. Ideal for a lesson starter/H.W for any GCSE students who have finished reading the play

Ideal for GCSE Literature revision - a quick true/false quiz to be completed independently or in pairs on aspects of context in 'An Inspector Calls.'
