I wrote this comprehensive SoW for non-drama specialists to teach. It introduces students to a range of dramatic devices such as physical theatre, tableaux, soundscapesn and stock characters. The unit consists of 6x 100 minute lessons however this can easily be adapted to suit 50/60 minute lessons. Additionally, I have included a copy of the drama log that students were encouraged to fill in as a plenary. This includes a copy of the drama rules (based on RESPECT) and a glossary that they would complete throughout the year.

This is a lesson I taught to help students recap their learning of R&J. We watched the Carlo Carlei version of the film, discussed and reviewed it. Whilst they enjoyed watching it, many were disappointed with the watered down script and alterations to the storyline. Many were also critical of the casting. It stemmed a lot of debate and recollections of the script. This also tied in nicely with the Transactional Writing element of the GCSE.

Comprises: Detailed Scheme of Work Weekly PowerPoints (7 1hr lessons per fortnight) Resources HW task Being able to communicate verbally is fundamental to success beyond school. Giving students the confidence and tools to communicate in a range of settings will enable them to live life to the fullest. In the past, Schemes of Work on spoken language have been very much based on key male figures throughout history. The spoken word has been dominated by men and therefore our duty is to explore the diversity of spoken language, looking at female speakers, black speakers and speeches from the LGBTQ+ community. Everyone has a voice and their voice is as valued as the next person’s. This unit not only explores the spoken language, but will broaden students’ expectations and understanding of the spoken word and its power. This unit culminates in assessing the SLC for English Language GCSE, a compulsory element of the GCSE. By exploring a range of speeches, identifying devices used, exploring and analysing both language and structure, students learn the processes behind planning presentations before they begin drafting their own. Therefore, the quality of the speeches should improve. Additionally, there are many opportunities to discuss and debate in this unit; the aim of this is to alleviate some of the stress of presenting to the class as they should have become accustomed to speaking in front of their peers. Students will be stretched in this SoL through the introduction of A-Level Language metalanguage. Lots of technical terminology has been used and students will be expected to use this in their own conversations. Written tasks will reflect the level of challenge as students will be expected to evaluate, analyse and explore the written and spoken language in depth. More able students will consider the effect of written/spoken language on a range of different audiences, no longer considering the ‘audience’ to be homogenous. SEN/D and PPG students will have access to modelled high level discussions and teaching through mixed ability setting. Tasks will be differentiated where necessary. Many spoken tasks will take place, therefore positioning those who struggle with reading and writing on a par with their more able peers.

An 11x 100 minute SoW exploring Frankenstein through a range of dramatic techniques and styles. This unit was designed to introduce and support the teaching of Frankenstein in KS4 English, giving students a creative and engaging way into this dense text. When planned, we had non specialists teaching drama and this SoW was supposed to be pretty self explanatory.

I wrote this booklet, compiled of a range of resources and activities, when I taught AQA Macbeth two years ago. This is a comprehensive, 55 page, workbook to be used alongside teaching the text and designed to be used instead of an exercise book. This booklet was designed to teach to a mixed ability class and therefore has challenge tasks embedded but can also be taught to LAPs. Whilst tailored to AQA, this could easily be adapted to suit other exam boards.

This is a unit I wrote a couple of years ago, aimed at building year 8s knowledge of poetry and narrative writing. This unit starts of by introducing WW1 propaganda and then leads into Wilfred Owen. The booklet then supports to teaching an analysis of The Machine Gunners, along with teaching skills of non-fiction writing such as diaries, newspapers and argumentative writing. This is a term’s worth of work and broken up into 100 minute lessons. This could easily be adapted to fit 50 or 60 minute lessons. Additionally, I have attached the Take Away Homework that ran alongside the unit. I really enjoyed teaching this unit, the students also enjoyed it too.

The unit begins with a detailed exploration of the rhetoric involved in a number of non-fiction persuasive texts: written, spoken and visual. Students analyse and imitate various non-fiction text types . Students develop a knowledge of the conventions of a range of non-fiction text types in order to emulate them in their extended project. The second section of the unit is an extended group project (although could be repurposed as a HW on individual task) relying on team spirit, group cooperation, coordination, and independent study. This unit culminates in students pitching their idea to their peers and then the most successful teams battle it out in front of a panel of judges to be crowned overall winner of ‘Toy Den’. All PowerPoints and resources included, as well as a detailed SoW with lesson by lesson walk through.
