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.
