This resource asks students to consider the impact of the writer's language choices. It guides them through a step by step analysis structure, asking them to identify, explore, apply and evaluate the success of the writer's choices. I used this as part of a transition scheme of work for new starters in Year 7. It could easily be adapted for higher or lower ability.

This is a reading analysis lesson building upon the Heroes and Villains powerpoint lesson (also available in my shop). It uses the PEE structure and a script/ transcript of the famous 'I am your father' scene from Empire Strikes Back. This lesson gets students to engage with play scripts, develop speaking and listening skills, work co-operatively and leads up to an assessment. NB The script is not my work (if only - I'd be rich!) but it is available to download online.

Based on the image and previous work on the June 2017 Rosabel paper. This resource is perfect to revise structure, vocabulary and content for question 5. AT the end of the lesson, students should have a detailed plan, opening and ending lines. They should also leave feedback on the exit ticket for future planning. Mark scheme focus is on vocabulary. Full lesson and handout. Perfect KS4 cover lesson too!

A how-to guide for lower ability GCSE English/ KS3 students who are new to reading analysis. This is heavily based on the requirements of the Edexcel 9-1 English Language specification. It is worth knowing that the for technique, spotting a correct language feature/technique/ word class will gain you some credit but not maximum marks. I use this as an aide memoir for LA students.

Initially used with higher ability KS4 classes, this resource can be adapted for lower sets. One other idea I tried was to use characters from 'Shameless' as the central image and ask the pupils to think up the written copy to accompany the image with the purpose of encouraging others to donate money to these people. Believe Campaign was 2002. It was created for old spec. but can be easily adjusted for 2010 spec.

He4therlouise uploaded a fantastic powerpoint that broke down the PEE chain: http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Outstanding-PEA-Lesson-Using-and-amp-analysing-evidence-6186437/ I've adapted it to analyse this poem. My year 9 class really responded to this type of presentation and we developed the S&L element to mock interviews and newspaper reports. Many thanks to He4therlouise for the initial powerpoint (it has an interesting writing to argue element and I'd certainly recommend a viewing of it!) I hope either version can help you with what you're looking for.

Using the 'Saved&' extract and June 2012 exam paper, I&';ve put together a powerpoint breaking down the question and structuring the analysis of the text. I'm pretty sure the format was originally scouted from another TES contributor but I have adapted it for the latest GCSE extracts and markscheme. Please comment if you like this resource or you have some constructive criticism to help me to plan better resources in the future!

This resource has been developed using the Heinemann 'Make the Grade&' text book. The mix and match activity is on slide one to print and slice, the article for the main writing question is &';The show must go on'. The example responses were from the text book - I&'ll upload a copy when I get time! I hope this can be of some use to you - if it is, or you have another comment, please leave feedback. Thanks!

A novel way of looking at structure to elicit more detailed and thoughtful responses from students analysing a text. I'm convinced that I &'lifted&'; the Dickens extract from another contributor; it has proved very useful to me over the years. Thank you! (Apologies for forgetting your name) This also uses Kagan's co-operative learning strategies and encourages more independence from learners.
