A range of questions based on topics such as education, the role of man/woman, family life, transport, careers, politics and more. Great as an introductory activity/lesson where pupils can understand how key factors within society have changed in order to develop a better understanding of 19th/21st century texts; making the resources more accessible. I continued with allowing them to research in more depth for homework and in groups, they then presented the key topics to the class as a speaking and listening activity.

Engaging activity best used as a starter or plenary. Enough resources for a class of 30 where they play dominoes as a recap of all descriptive devices. Works well with KS3 or KS4.

A Christmas themed lesson that could suit either KS3-4. Pupils will be asked to focus on a new brand of advent calendar, like the many toy alternatives that are out there now compared with the traditional chocolate one. Pupils could work in groups or pairs but will watch adverts to consider slogans, logos, products etc from a range of famous brands. They will then spend time working on adverts, slogans, product name and look. Pupils will move on to analysing persuasive speeches- watching good and bad examples before creating their own. There is a modelled example that they will analyse before creating (this could be tailored to trasactional writing for GCSE if required). Pupils will then have time to present all of their information to vote for winners at the end.

A range of slides where pupils will see short sections of an extract and they will need to quickly find as many devices as possible; either on whiteboards, post-it notes or in books. Some answers will then be given. A great starter, plenary or introduction to language devices to check their understanding so far. Suitable for KS3 or KS4 as the difficulty ranges as the slides develop.

A great Christmas topic using 21st and 19th century texts around homeless people at Christmas. The slides work through each question on Language Paper 2 Section A meaning it could be a 1-2 lesson WTM or could be a week’s worth of teaching working through each question. Models, examples and extracts all provided.

A range of powerpoints focusing on different poems that could be used for the GCSE unseen poetry aspect of the exam. This resource would work with any of the exam specifications as it focuses on understanding formed from comprehension activities, analysis of language and structural features and developing layers of interpretations. This could also be used with KS3 if the questions were broken down or as an introduction in Year 9.
