A Christmas Carol Scheme of Work for Most Able (KS4 AQA)

This complete scheme of work is designed to challenge the most able groups to engage critically with ‘A Christmas Carol’ (AQA KS4 specification).

This scheme of work takes inspiration from Pryke’s ‘Ready to Teach: A Christmas Carol: A compendium of subject knowledge, resources and pedagogy’ as well as my own teaching experience and research.

The scheme includes:

• 148 slide PowerPoint, broken down lesson-by-lesson to suit a long half-term.
• Recap of exam skills as well as entire novella content including context
• Lessons designed around how to craft an argument and how to plan and structure the essay response
• A document designed to help students plan their essays
• A fully annotated model essay based on Stave V
• An assessment feedback lesson to encourage metacognitive reflection
• Comments, guidance and support in the ‘Notes’ section of key PowerPoint slides to help guide new teachers.

Please leave a review as I hope to design year 11 revision lessons in future, so your feedback would be greatly appreciated to guide the revision resource.
