A full set of powerpoint lessons and resources drawn together into a complete scheme of work for the new GCSE Edexcel Relationships cluster. Each powerpoint takes at least two lessons, usually more for the longer poems, and includes a variety of activities and tasks in order to engage the students with the poems, as well as build their analytical skills, incorporating techniques that can also be used with the Unseen Poetry section of the exam. Detailed contextual information about the poems has also been included for the students to use and integrate into their analysis.
A brief explanation of some of the elements:
> The scheme of work builds from a structured, more teacher-led approach to the poems at the beginning towards an increasing independence, geared towards enabling the students to analyse poetry on their own. This culminates in the 'pyramid strategy' which is detailed in the lesson for 'One Flesh'. However, the pyramid strategy could be incorporated earlier in the scheme of work, dependent on student ability.
> I've included the full mark scheme for this section of the exam which is taken from the exam board but adapted into a tick box format which I've found the students find easier to understand. The complete set of mark schemes adapted into this format for all the new GCSE papers can be found for free here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/edexcel-9-1-new-english-literature-and-english-language-gcses-11559731
> Similarly, I've also included an adapted version of the mark scheme which omits the comparative element. I've found this useful for peer assessing analysis of one poem.
> I tend to use the 'Exam Question Explanation' powerpoint before I start giving the students practice questions, which is before I finish teaching the cluster. However, I've tagged it onto the end of the scheme of work here so that it can be inserted whenever you wish to use it.

Something went wrong, please try again later.
Unfortunately, I was hoping for more detail. The powerpoints, although potentially useful for stimulating ideas, are brief. Some useful contextual information though.
Some useful ideas. Thank you for sharing
