A full scheme of work designed for my high ability Year 10/11s (I teach in an international school and we do not follow the IGCSE although it may be helpful for those teaching the novel at GCSE/IGCSE). The download contains 15 lessons, however many of the lessons include a lot of resources and would be better stretched across several lessons. The final task was for students to write a compare/contrast essay analysing Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go and Orwell’s 1984 so there are references NLMG throughout. Most resources have been made by me however inspiration and resources have been taken from TES and other sources

Lesson about the poem ‘The Chimney Sweeper’ by William Blake aimed at a Year 7 class. Includes starter activity, context, brief analysis, group activity and hot seating.

A court case activity for middle school. All the instructions are on the PDF! Great for encouraging the students to find evidence to back up their claims. My Year 8 class were very engaged!
