Romeo and Juliet GCSE Revision Board Game

Romeo and Juliet GCSE Revision Board Game

(1)
The board will need to be printed on A3 and could be laminated for reuse. This is a really good way of getting students to revisit their learning and knowledge of the characters, themes, context and events of the play in a fun and independent way. I have used this before and the students really enjoy it. All you will need it some dice to play. You could get students to think of their own questions and tasks too as an extension/challenge.

Hound of the Baskervilles - 19 lessons that covers the retold version

This scheme of work is based on the Usborne Classic Retold version of 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'. Each lesson covers 1 chapter more or less and they aim to look at skills that students will need to be able to use in their new AQA GCSE exams. They think about structure, characterisation, description and PEE analysis as well as some contextual links.

Reminder of how to analyse poetry - mood and atmosphere, ideas, language (features), effect, and structure. Looks great on A3 colour and laminated.

Please note that not all powerpoints have learning objectives on as I am going to add these on at a later date and have not had time as of yet as I have spent hours making these.

These lessons have been designed to be used in form to reinforce essential literacy skills. They include engaging videos, and challenge and extension activities. The tasks are self-explanatory and hopefully will work well for the whole of KS3 and KS4. These could also be used in English lessons.

Covers the book and integrates reading skills with writing. A range of activities with challenge and extension tasks. Powerpoint lesson 7/8 also contains photos from inside Auschwitz from a visit I took to the camp which can bring the story to life for the students.
