A lesson that uses Emma Watson's HeForShe speech to help students identify more subtle persuasive techniques in speech writing. Aimed at higher ability but easily adapted.

Ready to go homework activities for A Christmas Carol. Could also be used for lessons - entirely up to you!

A range of activities to explore the context of the myth of Pandora's Box. Created for Year 8 but could be adapted.

This is everything you need for a couple of KS4 lessons focusing on the character of Linda and how she is created to be a sympathetic character: PowerPoints, extract, wider text quote revision, response planning grid, and part of an exemplar response. The resources have been created using the Eduqas English Literature 9-1 specification but assessment objectives and outcomes can be tweaked to suit your own needs. This is aimed at high ability (7/8 targets) students but, again, can be adapted. The timers used in the PowerPoints can be found in a presentation downloaded from here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/powerpoint-timers-6451249

Three extracts from Mickey and Edward's first scene together with questions to guide analysis. Can be done in pairs/groups or as an individual task. Also handy for homework!

A lesson focused on approaching an exam-style extract to ensure all AOs are being achieved even at the annotation stage.

An introduction to Greek Mythology and the context of Theseus and the Minotaur. Includes a variety of activities. Created for Year 8 but could be adapted.

This is a resource created with the Eduqas English Literature specification in mind. It begins with an extract analysis sheet pupils are guided to specific elements of language, structure and form in the sleepwalking scene (Act V Scene 1). Then pupils are asked to think about how Lady Macbeth has developed across the whole play and there is a group quote finding activity, encouraging pupils to use the skills they have developed in the first task. I also used the CGP ‘The Complete Play’ guide to help those pupils who were struggling with the scenes/language.

A lesson aimed at mid ability KS3 students on inference, using an extract from Northern Lights that describes Lord Asriel.

Around 2 lessons worth of resources on the topic of film regulation and product placement in James Bond Spectre, suitable for the Eduqas GCSE Media Studies qualification. I’m trying to improve standards of independent working and the linking of ideas, rather than just imparting information upon the students, as seems to be the tendency with some of the resources for these Component 1 Section B topics.
