I have put many hours into the creation of this resource to make Romeo and Juliet accessible to the very weakest students and those who need very heavy differentiation. I’m unsure how to allow a preview so I have uploaded separately a sample lesson for you to preview. This knowledge- rich booklet includes 43 lessons (99 pages), fully resourced and ready to print off and use. You could use it to teach the full play or pick and choose sections. Each lesson includes a low-stakes recall quiz, an accessible knowledge phase, knowledge check quizzes and suggested questions along with a range of activities on the way through. For KS3 it can be used alone but I would recommend that for KS4, it is used alongside your readings of the original text. It does include contextual information to support assessment objective 3 (context) at GCSE. The booklet will occasionally refer to the chosen formulaic response structure I use with my students along with sentence stems to scaffold a response so you may wish to replace these references to your own response structure/ acronyms if you prefer. I am selling this incredibly cheaply for what it is but please be aware that while it has been a labour of love, it may not be perfect. While I know it is not littered with errors, you may find a very occasional missing punctuation mark or ‘typo’. Do please let me know what you think of this resource!

A template for teachers to use when concerned about a particular child and wants to refer them to the SENCo - with an easy checklist of concerns to highlight, what they have already tried and the impact of this, parental & professional involvement so far. Great for the SENCo to have all this information on one sheet and great for talking through the child’s difficulties and support that could be offered. I use this as an initial concern form and will often offer additional strategies to try in class before going through the SEN Screening Document with the teacher.
