Preparing KS3 students to understand context can be challenging. This assessment is designed to test their understanding of language with a scaffolded sheet to support those who may need support to identify language techniques used. The additional resources support individual lessons to understand contextual factors such as: the reason for the inclusion of turkish delight in the story; how the Greek myths can link to the story (Icarus) and how C.S Lewis references Eden in the story.
Students read the source material about Big Game Hunting in Africa, and complete a range of activities including their own P2Q5. The intention is to build skills in this question and gain more marks.
Use these worksheets to cover Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol in 5 lessons. This is designed to work alongside the BBC radio series which is freely available with video and audio files for download. You can watch / listen, students use the sheets to take notes about Character / Context / Theme and then follow up with detailed study of extracts later. Gives students clarity and an overview of the full text to lay the foundations for the further study of the novel (great for Y10).
