A Ppt to help students tackle the AQA example KS3 paper which can be found on their website…

One off short lesson used for an interview with ideas for activities to be carried forward. The students loved this.

19 Lessons for the first book of ‘The Hunger Games’. Includes many different skills including opportunities to be creative by creating a boardgame and character outfits. My students loved designing these and presenting them to the class. Some success criteria may need adding/adapting. Some table names were included for differentiation so these will need to suit your class, Lessons could be extended or shortened by watching scenes from the film.

Mini glossaries of words that students may not understand from the AQA Power and Conflict section. I get my students to stick them in to help them understand words they are not sure of. These could be adapted so that students have to find some of the definitions for themselves.

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 structure/form, themes, context and messages of the poems in a fun and independent way. I have used this before and the students really enjoy it. All you will need is some dice to play. You could get students to think of their own questions and tasks too as an extension/challenge.

15/16 lessons which focuses on the topic of love and relationships with an assessment, and then moves onto unseen poetry with another assessment. This could be easily expanded. It aims to mimic the skills used in the AQA Literature exam.

This scheme of work focuses on love and relationships in the play between Beatrice and Benedick, and Hero and Claudio. You would need a film version of Much Ado with Kenneth Brannagh to help with the teaching as it is a short scheme of work. My year 7s really enjoyed it.

39 weeks of words with quotes, thinking activities and space for timetable and form notices. You will have to change the dates for the year you are using it.

An exam overlay to help students answer the exam question successfully.

Covers plot, characters, themes, context.

15 lessons which cover all of the poems. They encourage the students to become more independent and I have included lots of videos to engage them. My classes seemed to enjoy them and got a lot out of the lessons. Includes challenge activities working through Bloom’s. Includes an exam style question/task for each poem with a focus on writer’s intention.

10 lessons based on the topic of theme parks. This results in a persuasive speech writing assessment based on the Alton Towers ‘Smiler’ incident. It covers persuasive features, bias, and description.

This is a 10 lesson scheme of work. It could potentially take longer or be easily extended. It focuses mainly on the features of Gothic writing, freak shows, and outsiders. I have also included some paper 2 language skills using real descriptions of people’s experiences of going to a freak show. You will need access to a copy of ‘The Greatest Showman’ film for lesson 7 and 8. You may need to think of some questions to ask for this lesson about the message and inferences of character. I have included links to go with the lessons from Youtube I will be using with this scheme too. There are also pictures of the cast of ‘The Greatest Showman’ with pictures of the real people they are meant to be representing.
