This is a Scheme of Work that has been created for AQA A Level Language & Literature. Paper 2 Exploring Conflict. It could be easily used/adapted to suit A Level Literature. The scheme is focused on analysing the choices Fitzgerald has made as a writer and exploration of the different perspectives in the text. It covers: Characterisation Setting Language levels & their effects Relevant Narrative Theory Recast Tasks Critical Reading/Wider Reading tasks *(please note- these are available as a separate free booklet in my shop as they are a collection of texts from years of teaching Gatsby so you will need to download separately). * An lesson on introducing commentary writing *(please note- the model referred to will need to be downloaded from AQA website as it is a marked AQA *response,) Schemes for this specification seem to be few and far between so I hope this is useful as a resource to build your lessons around.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby is brought beautifully to life with these dynamically illustrated slides and the thoughtful tasks contained within.

This power point lesson contains a starter activity, summary and analysis questions, an academic writing task, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary. This is a complete resource.

I achieved an A* in AQA English Literature A Level. Here is a table of the top quotations for Gatsby, with LSF analysis, followed by analysis/ key themes/ context link/ critic!! Learn these quotations and you will be sorted for almost every theme they could ask, as they are all highly flexible.

This includes a selection of around 10 Gatsby quotes and pictures carefully selected with a lovely font. Just a little time-saver for you as it took me a while to choose good, meaningful quotes put them all together. I used them to surround a poster that has the whole of Gatsby text on, however, I though a nice idea would be to take an extract of Gatsby and do some 'on board' colourful analysis pinpointing different critical approaches or something similar.

A lesson for A level students. The start of the lesson is based around students feeding back on articles they have read prior to the lesson (flip learning). This can be any articles but I have attached the ones I used with my class. They then analyse an extract from the first chapter as a platform discussing Tom Buchanan and also ideas of East and West. There is also some information on Nick as the narrator.
