The Victorian era - context for literature

(0)
This is an information PPT - not especially interactive, I used for a very low level Year 10 - who were struggling with Sherlock Holmes and the context (Sign of F|our) - - I had them self select two important pieces of self selected information from the slides and then research from the last slide - no surprise what they gravitated to with screams of horror! [ spoiler alert contraception in the 19th century] and nearly as popular of course, Jack the Ripper and media students explored the media aspects of the influence of newspapers for cross curricula

This is targetting OCR media A Level music video [ MV} The links are current at March 2024 - but you will need to update the MV set text SUN GOES DOWN from youtube yourself - the offical version is the one referred to As a point of comparision The old town road is suggested: to understand a bit more about the artist The resouce introduces shot/camera/costume exploration, and detailed lyric exploration while reflecting on the artists role in hip hop and as part of the LGBTI community and conflicts with hegemony. It does contain a bad language warning - and a reminder that this MV does refer to thoughts of suicide. OCR chose it - not me !!! This PPT spreads over 4-5 lessons - with writing tasks ege 4 - 5 hours -

Promising Young Women A Level film study

(0)
This is constructed for examination purposed for the UK exam boards for A Level UPDATED 25 Feb 2024 workbook - in word doc PPT1 It is a focused on how meaning is made, spectatorship and ideology and the context [67 slides0 PPT 2 is focused on the ideology of being cute and #toxicmasculinty PPT 3 looks at some of the failures in the film - it’s a disussion prompt with several examples including the look alike to Bridget Bardot homage PPT1 suggests viewing broken down to 3 sessions - and has short and long writing task and some discussion breaks. It also has a selection of film shots for students to explore as well in depth of how meaning is made through soundtrack, costume, context and millenial ideas of feminism - however teachers can adapt to how they teach film /lenght of lessons With 67 slides - there is enough for about 10-12 one hour lessons [It does not teach basics of film, because no one teaching this, is likely be using it as their first text and cinematography basics would have been taught already! ] PPT1 has some useful links - which at January 2024 are active - and a short teaching rationale for teachers Please note I always charge very little for resources which takes hours to put together and therefore, respectfully ask you do not put my work online as your product :)

How to obtain a grade 4 GCSE English language pre exam push

(0)
This is where maths meets English - this resouce tackles the maths in the marking and the bare bones focus on Section B AQA - ultimately students need a grade 4 and Sections B is worth half the marks The resources does not contain endless revision practise but explains each action, or inaction they take will have consequences on how marks, awarded positively can, or can not be achieved. It firmly suggests that the two papers section Bs worth 80/160 marks must be a priority, and if you are not teaching with that in mind, this won’t help you :) The PPt goes over the basics, examples some sentence startes for creative writing, and concludes with some quaisi provocative news articles to generate students having a point of view: it includes the news story about ‘john’ the primary teacher living out of his car [ jan 2024] I have always found this back to basics - this is how marks are scored - centres the weaker students on the 4 - this is not suitable for the students aiming for 6 and above - it is very suitable for EAL

AQA Crime poems KS5 Wilde Crabbe Browning

(0)
The poems are for AQA Crime They are for teachers who know how to teach poetry at KS5 and they are sectioned to work through in an order building knowledge Browning then Wilde than Crabbe These PPTS do NOT focus on low level line by line analysis but link to higher order thought - deep links to the AO’s : if students do not write to the AOs they get lower marks. Teachers are advised to review these - this is not self paced work, not suitable to post as work from home - more suitable for students who want and work towards A* A B or a higher C

Blinded by the Light Chadra Film Study

FILM STUDY This is a set of 10 PPTS as the introduction from first to second viewing of the film. I have assumed that the teacher leading this knows how to teach film and has reviewed the film! The PPTS use stills, and questions to prompt students to securely locate the Britishness in this film using cinematic evidence It is not however, an introduction to cinematic terms so I have assumed basics have been taught eg lighting props costume It has only a few youtube links which are all working at the time of upload This does dig into the context of era so has some challenging ideas about the Thatcher era, racism and as such students should continue to be trigger warned - a heading from the Times used is genuine, sadly.

Hamlet revision act 2

(0)
This is a stand alone lesson - it would take 2-3 hours to complete - it could be set for online, or if a student feels they need more than they have been taught - this is what revision should look like and could be done collaboratively online It is is best teacher led and requires a teacher to have a sound knowledge of the play Contains essay task - suitable for OCR but this will work with any A level board

Hamlet Revision Act 1

(0)
Whilst this targets A Level OCR it can be used for any board for revision: the PPT takes students through the basics of ACT 1, what really is the absolute minimum of expectation of knowledge [ teaching!] It could be used as an online self paced module - it does have writing tasks and esssay question - a student could use this if they are concerned they need more than they have been taught, in progresive linear format

Rocks the film director Sarah Gavron Eduqas Board

(0)
This is a 70+ slide PPT intoduction to Rocks; it breaks the viewing dowin into 3 slots reflecting it is a short film. The PPTs introduce various ideas about the film including it is has polyglot casting, largely female cast and productions crew, and in paticular this is British film. There are quite a few stills from the film for students to break down with an emphasis on mis en scene, and frame composition. This is one of a two part approach to Rocks for GCSE - however please note that both this INTRODUCTION assume the teacher knows how to teach film! There are short writing tasks, a check list template for students on short or even long writing tasks - some share pair work, and some background information

Knowledge Organiser [5] The Taming of the Shrew Shakespeare

(0)
This is a series of 5 knowledge organisers which build sequentially from each other introducing the form of the play, acts, context and moving onto the complicated ideas about how/if this is a comedy. The 5th organiser focuses on Kates Act 5 speech and 3 of the organisers have prompt essay questions. I have also attached a teacher viewing sheet of online video verision which had working links checked in August 2022 - obviously these can change I also attach a copy of the 2012 Guardian review which is a helpful tool for classroom discussions.

This is a collection of resources compiled over the past 15 years! They are a combination of teacher led, homework, group work, suiting lower to higher level groups. Some is very much stand alone lessons, and they are resources I dip in and out of yearly, updating and changing as cohorts bring new challenges or ideas. Macbeth has been my old friend since my A Level days, in another century - I hope you find something in here useful!

London by Blake Summer 2022 exams

(0)
This is a revision lesson, not an introduction lesson, which focuses on what if LONDON is the main poem for Power and Conflict in 2022? Or if you want to use LONDON for the conrast/compare poem! The PPT takes through ideas for students who have heard of pathos and logos for example, it has four practise questions, it condenses quotes to the main quotes, and easiest high level techniques. It has a comparogram slide for the students to self select what would work with LONDON ( and you can adapt that for any of the 15 poems!) Working through the PPT excluding the exam question practise would suit 60 to 90 minute lesson It also has a no jargon breakdown of the AOs

AQA Multicultural London English A Level

(0)
This is a one off lesson - about 60 to 90 minutes - and has links for students to do further reading which is why it could take 90 minutes. It has some excerpts from the controversial Ed West article in the Telegraph from 2011 which no longer seems to be online Primarily this is guided lesson, wherein the student task is to summarised what they have learned and do some independant learning Either class room or online There once was a teachit resource for the two newsaper articles [ back in 2017] but you would need to source that yourself!

Pulp Fiction student work book
cambourne100cambourne100

Pulp Fiction student work book

(0)
This is a work book for Film studies - as the film has a high restricted rating, it is assumed this film is done in a Year 13 class after a year of film study - so this DOES NOT go over film language as it is assumed students have already been taught basics. The workbook is structured to explore auteur: Tarantino as the Director and, as Music sound track auteur which has become his trademark. It looks at trademark shots such as the trunk shot - the elliptical narrative, the role of discombobulated dialogue, the casting The work book could be use as part of a remote learning scheme, but would be better suited to explicit guided viewing. The role of how differently audiences react, hyper reality, binary theory is covered in questions students should respond to.
