A middle-high ability lesson analysing the dagger scene- includes a close analysis activity and a great scaffolded activity where the pupils improve a WABOLL (What a Bad One Looks Like).

Two resources guiding pupils through how to answer Q4. I glued the extract onto large sugar paper and had them write their reasons for/against on either side of it. Use the Gatsby one first, then the Dracula extract as a form of assessment.

This is aimed towards teaching pupils how to write band 5/6 responses. The lesson revolves around a book about the sentimentalisation of the poor/children and families in Victorian fiction and gives pupils a valuable insight into how their presentation pertains to the typical presentation of families and children at the time and the meanings behind their characterisation. I taught this to top set year 11 and no one achieved below a 7 in their assessment on the extract. Based on the extract where the Cratchit family are introduced. Plan for roughly 20-25 minutes worth of teacher-led discussion to ensure this ideas are fully understood. This is not the extract from the Summer '17 exam which means they will be able to make perceptive links but not be overly scaffolded prior to mock examinations. PLEASE REVIEW

A mixture of adaptable resources suited to high ability. Focuses on Juliet's changing language and the theme of light/dark.

Each poem has been condensed to A5 with four key quotations, context, theme and comparative links. I recommend you print the first 8 (romantic love) on one colour card and the subsequent 7 (family love) on a different colour. Used with our whole year 11 cohort and they found them extremely useful! Low to middle ability although high ability also find them useful.

A lesson exploring the presentation of Jacob Marley. Can be spread over two lessons with ease if you wish to have whole class discussions included.

A 3 hour+ activity breaking down concepts from critical sources about control and rebellion in Romeo and Juliet. Pupils then apply the concepts to an extract focusing on Prince Escalus. They then complete a planning page which is designed to produce top band conceptualised responses. This produced a number of grade 8 and 9 essay responses from a group of high ability year 11s in a revision session. Would work well as a lesson or as guided intervention. Also involves two 21+ responses which could be broken down and improved.

Progressively becomes more difficult to achieve the grades as the years progress. The Literature and Language skills have been merged underneath AOs.
