Like worksheets? Read on. A colourful exercise for creative writing and persuasive writing that can also serve as your Pride and Prejudice context lesson for the week (my school likes to double-up like that!). This lesson asks pupils to imagine they are either Wickham or Kitty and write an affectionate, persuasive letter. To help inform the letters, I have included for you an attractive note on Regency society - which we had covered the day before. I am also including a differentiated version that gives your lower ability pupils a writing frame.

The third worksheet in my series asks students to make links between personalities and events and engage with the dystopian idea of restricting liberal thought. Questions are pitched to exercise KS3/4 reading skills and can be used to develop students analytical techniques while engaging them visually. To be read in conjunction with the 2005 edition of the novel published by Vertigocomics.com

So what is Dystopia? Find out here. Also an introduction to George Orwell and how his experiences are reflected in 1984. A few weeks' worth of resources I used to teach a public school A Level class when I was training. Definitions of Dystopia, Fascism and Communism. Quotations from academics and various sources about propaganda and censorship. Also from Orwell himself about his life as a kitchen porter in Paris and the birth of his communist leanings. Make sure you read the notes because some slides are pupil-led analytical exercises. I must thank the creator of the image on the front pages but it's a hypnotic way to introduce each of the lessons.

Don't begin teaching R&J without this engaging context lesson on the theme of honour. Students will learn how men were drunk with the idea of outward reputation and how women had little power beyond driving men to the madness of lusty revenge. You will learn how honour was won and lost and what men and women could do to address insults. Read in the context of a spirited Juliet, the rakish Romeo and the reputational damage caused to Capulet.

Around 15 minutes worth of comprehension questions based on the opening pages of the 2005 ed of the Graphic novel. Engage your students with this arresting book and develop reading comprehesion skills. Our lesson objective was to look at the issue of sexual abuse, so the worksheet raises these issues. One of a series of worksheets I will be releasing on V For Vendetta.

Comprehension exercise designed to visually arrest your learners and develop inference and the Key Stage 3 skill of recognising bias. The second in my series of worksheets to be read in conjunction with the Graphic Novel.

The latest in my series of worksheets asks students to match early scenes from the graphic novel (published by Vertigo) to descriptors of good and bad conversation techniques. Works best in A3 and you'll need scissors, glue and up to around 30 mins.

When conventional abridged versions just aren’t concise enough. This should be the entire play, which I reacted heavily for a Y9 bottom set. Each scene and its questions should take no more than one lesson to work through. I also include the PPT which features a range of starters - usually either a wordsearch or cloze summary.
