Students write a piece of descriptive writing based on an image. This lesson is written specifically for the AQA GCSE.

This is a great resource for introducing Child Language Acquisition as a topic in A Level English Language. Includes an overview of the topic, an introduction to Piaget's stages and some images from children's reading books for analysis/discussion. A colourful and fun resource.

Here are two sessions and a homework for revising English Literature. The sessions cover revision of themes and motifs in A Christmas Carol with a few sample exam questions that I’ve made, based on the AQA question paper format. Each session also starts with a quick revision starter on the poetry (Love and Relationships). Aimed at middle ability Y11s. My class needed some help with where to start revision of A Christmas Carol - and the poetry was thrown in for good measure, and this is what they find hardest.

A fun group work task that allows Y7 to get creative! Fits in nicely as a project to follow teaching narrative poetry.

I made these for an Easter booster course for students doing the Core paper. The booklet includes a reminder of each question on Paper 1 and another opportunity to practise the skills.

This is a scheme of work I devised for a high ability Y9 class, to prepare them for studying a novel at GCSE. The first two lessons focus on context and exploring Scout's character in Chapter One. There are more resources to come on this.
