Having taught IGCSE Literature 9695 for over 15 years, and having chosen this play as a set work since its introduction to the syllabus, I have designed this programme to assist teachers in the teaching of the play. This is a visually engaging, fully resourced teaching pack for Sweat by Lynn Nottage, designed for Cambridge International A Level Literature (9695). This ready-to-use unit guides students from context and first reading through to character study, themes, quotations and exam-style essay writing. It is ideal for teachers who want a clear, structured and visually polished route through the play. What’s included: • A 12-lesson structured unit plan • Lesson PowerPoints guiding students through key sections of the play • Close reading and annotation activities • Character analysis resources (and editable character map) • Theme exploration tasks (class, identity, economic change, community) • Discussion questions to promote deeper engagement with the text • Essay planning activities • A Level style examination questions AND exemplar responses • Structured paragraph writing support Learning focus Students will develop the ability to: • Analyse dramatic methods used by Nottage • Explore how character relationships drive the conflict of the play • Understand the social and historical context of the drama • Evaluate key themes such as economic inequality, loyalty and identity • Construct clear, well-supported A Level literary essays A final note: High Performance Learning has been integrated into these resources - particularly useful if you institute has subscribed to this.
