The plot of Jekyll and Hyde in image form only. You get: An A3 sheet with all the images representing the plot. Student can annotate this with summaries, quotes, themes, vocabulary, devices, etc. An A4 sheets for each chapter that students can fill out for revision.

This is a lesson exploring leadership and loyalty in the play. The lesson includes some extracts from the play to explore with students and an essay plan for them to complete.

DO NOT USE IF STUDYING LOVE AND RELATIONSHIP CLUSTER - ‘Mother, Any Distance’ is used as the comparison poem. These lessons were designed to stretch and challenge my top set year 11 class. You will find about 3 lessons worth of material (perhaps more with lower ability groups). Lesson includes Power Point presentation, an A3 sheet for students to use, an exemplar for the single analysis and an exemplar for the unseen comparison. Mark schemes are used within the Power Point also. What I do: Complete lesson 1 in class - let them discuss the poem for section C and begin getting ideas down. Ask them to write a response for homework. Next lesson with them ask them to grade their work/peer mark work. Get them to compare it to my model and then make improvements. Complete the unseen comparison for homework. Next lesson discuss comparison as a class, give them my model and repeat the same process as in the previous lesson. The first poem is not used in any other lessons found online so if you are looking for new material these will help. :)

This is a lesson I created after my students had written about ambition in Act One of Macbeth. It includes: A grade 9 real student exemplar (writing about Act One only). The AQA top band marks scheme. This can be used after teaching Act One or in the build up to the ambition assessment. You might also use it as an aid to help students begin writing - you have completed Act One and now they have to continue and write about ambition in the rest of the play. The assessment uses the AQA past paper about ambition ion Macbeth but this lesson could be used more generally by just looking at ambition in Macbeth. You could also swap out the AQA marks scheme and replace it with another exam board.

I have used a Japanese Ghost story and created tasks in the style of AQA Language Paper 1. The PPT is designed to stretch across a double lesson or multiple lessons. The story is not difficult and would suit most ages (11-16). The story is longer than what AQA would give an extract, but only by about double. These would work perfectly for a Halloween inspired lesson that still focuses on the important reading skills needed for Paper 1. Lesson includes: Extact Guided PPT Some example writing Questions to guide you through the extract. Writing frames. Enjoy!

This is designed as a double lesson or series of lessons where you give students the chance to explore the theme themselves first and then reveal lots of possible ideas that they may or may not have come up with. This is how I use these lessons: Give students the planning sheet at the beginning and students use this throughout to make their notes. This, along with the essay that they produce, becomes a revision resource. Lesson 1: Spend the first 5 minutes completing starter. Then 10 minutes exploring contextual factors that link to this theme. Students then spend 5 minutes writing their opening argument (this may need a full lesson of teaching beforehand. See my lesson on creating introductions/thesis statements). Allow students to spend 15/20 minutes planning for the question. This can be independent, pairs or groups. Share ideas at the end and have students use a different coloured pen to show where they have improved or added ideas. Lesson 2: Give students 5 minutes to reread plan from lesson. 20 minutes where you teach the ideas that they might have come up with or may not have. Students spend the rest of the lesson writing the essay. Give essay to finish as homework. Lesson 3: Feedback This lesson comes perhaps a week later.

Great Halloween creative writing lesson that can be used with students of all secondary school age. Comes with examples that can be removed or where you could add animations to make appear after.

Hey there, Here you will find a lesson created for the poem Half Past Two by U.A. Fanthorpe. Although the poem is long, it is fun and introducing students to language analysis in a gentle (easy to find) way. The poem can be analysed quite easily and is perfect if you want to teach neologisms. Please enjoy!

Hey there, These are frames designed to help students generate poetry. Here is how I use them: Begin with the ‘making langauge frame.’ Introduce students to a form of poetry. I was using these with Haiku to begin with and then introduced them to more complex forms, such as sonnets and ballads. Have students cut out the box in the middle. Place the frame on a window and get students to focus on something outside. Using the guidance on the frame, students created lines for a poem. Once they have ideas, they can work on the order and how they would like the poem constructed. Once they have the hang of this, you can introduce the second frame ‘making imagery’ and help students become more aware of how to use devices to describe something. The 2 frames can be stuck together to help students focus narrowly on something and use language devices to describe what they have focused on. I hope these help!

Hi there! This is a lesson I designed for my year 9 class exploring WW1 poetry for Remembrance Day. As you know, WW1 poetry is explored at GCSE and beyond so this is a great way to explore it before then. I wanted my students to explore the female voice during WW1 and this lesson is designed for that. The lesson includes: Easy print outs of the poems needed. Fact and information about Jessie Pope with sources. Statements created about the poem to help student analyse independently to begin with. Annotated questions to guide you when analysing the poem with students. A writing extension task with model paragraph. A suggested home learning task. Enjoy!

This is a few lessons of content designed to explore the key relationships in Macbeth. This lesson was planned for my second set but would work well for both high and lower ability with a little tweaking. It explores: Macbeth’s and Lady Macbeth’s relationship. Macbeth’s and Banquo’s relationship Macbeth’s relationship to others All answers are provided in the lessons and there is some model writing of thesis statements. all resources are also included. Thanks and enjoy!

This was designed as a double lesson where students explore Scrooge’s treatment of others. It is mainly based on Student feedback as students are now working towards the exam and should have enough knowledge to contribute to the planning of the question. However, the lesson does have: Prompt pictures for context and noted ideas Guided questions for the extract Answers to these questions Model thesis statements Thanks and enjoy!
