This scheme has been planned to introduce KS3 students to Chaucer and The Canterbury Tales. This is important as students need to experience texts from different time eras in order to prepare them for the new GCSE specification. This part of the scheme includes full PPT lessons and all accompanying resources. In this part, the students will look at the following: • The Miller – discuss initial impressions of character and predictions for tale. Compare original version to modern version to find patterns in words. Use quotes to create portrait and examine specific words that create impressions. • Discuss gender representations and the changing role of women. Examine The Wife of Bath – discuss impressions of her character and how she challenges/adheres to expectations and stereotypes. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCq6117mYqg (animated tales for LA) • Compare the two - discuss how to compare texts and offer writing frame focusing on physical attributions and how their characters are portrayed. • Summarise the type of people Chaucer portrayed and why the tales are still looked at today – do they challenge our own stereotypes or teach us not to judge? • Students create their own pilgrim. Reintroduce the idea of class and class stereotypes. Mindmap physical features and qualities their pilgrim will have and how physical qualities match with stereotype/class. • Develop a description of your own Pilgrim that would fit into the general prologue – use checklist of the techniques/devices Chaucer uses in his own descriptions as a guideline.

Good to use as a starter Instructions: Students complete as many connections as they can (in rows/columns/diagonal) between the images finding an ‘odd one out’.

This lesson explores Shakespeare's forms as it looks at his other sonnets and their structure. A challenging lesson but allows students to focus on form and structure as well as language, which will move them into the top band of the mark scheme. Students then analyse the language in the prologue and construct their own GCSE style question before attempting to answer.

I created this lesson for my year 8 class and they used the text to analyse their own thoughts and feelings for Frankenstein's creation. They then used the evidence they had collected this lesson to form a debate the lesson after.
