I teach English across Key Stages 3-5, and I teach Film Studies at A Level. I try to create resources which are easy to use and which, for KS4 and 5 pupils, will aid their revision for exams. My resources tend to be word documents, so they can easily be adapted to suit your students' needs.

Lady Audley's Secret - Book 1: Useful extracts for analysis and comparison

Lady Audley's Secret - Book 1: Useful extracts for analysis and comparison

(0)
This resource contains 11 key extracts from Book 1 of the novel. They have been selected because: they are, in themselves, interesting and revealing moments which shine lights on the settlings and characters of the novel; they are often good examples of Braddon’s style and techniques; and they match very well with extracts from The Cutting Season, which is the novel I pair this one with. Each extract is followed by two boxes: one which allows the students to make notes on any relevant social, historical or biographical contexts which shed light on this extract; the other which encourages the students to make explicit links between this novel and The Cutting Season. If you are pairing Lady A with a different novel, you can easily change the wording in these boxes so they match your choice.

The Cutting Season: Part Three - Final Tours Chapter Analysis Sheets

(0)
This novel by Attica Locke is new on the Edexcel A Level Lit course in the Prose Unit. There’s very little out there yet to support students’ learning as they read, so I have developed an analysis sheet to accompany each chapter. These sheets are for the third part of the novel. Depending on the importance of each chapter, each sheet has all or some of the following: A space for the students to write a brief synopsis of the events of the chapter; 1 - 8 short answer questions to develop their understanding of the plot and characters; A space to record anything interesting or important they found about the language, form and structure; A space to record any relevant contextual information which aids understanding of the chapter. Some of the sheets also contain a Deep Dive question, which requires them to write a 500 word response to a character or theme based question. Each sheet has fields for the students can type directly into.

Guided Analysis of Scenes 1-10 of A Streetcar Named Desire

10 Resources
After teaching each scene to my A Level students, I give them these sheets. They are Word docs, which can be given to students so they can type their responses directly into the fields provided. Alternatively, you could hand out paper copies and they could handwrite their responses. The tasks include: stating when this scene is set giving a brief synopsis of the scene lots of deep-dive questions into the characters and dialogue exploring the use of stagecraft and plastic theatre in the scene examining relevant contextual factors They are ideal for use with A Level English Literature students, but could be used in Drama lessons, too. Note: There isn’t a sheet like this for scene 11 as I tend to teach that scene quite differently.

'Of Mice and Men ' study booklet

'Of Mice and Men ' study booklet

(0)
This booklet takes a deep dive into the text. I created it for middle-ability GCSE students, but it would work well with sparky Year 9s, too. It’s organised by chapter (with an extension unit on Chapter 3) and looks closely at language and structure as well as plot and characterisation. Each chapter has a range of guided activities, plus plenty of room for students to make notes. As it’s a word doc, students could access it electronically, and fill in the boxes using a computer if they like. At 40 pages long, it’s ideal for someone preparing to write about it in an exam (such as Edexcel IGCSE Lit), or as a classroom resource for students reading it at KS3. All the page numbers in the booklet refer to the hardback Longman edition, but you could easily change these if you’re using a different one.
Of Mice and Men Context Booklet

Of Mice and Men Context Booklet

(1)
For Edexcel IGCSE Literature, pupils need to include lots of relevant context in their exam essays on the novel. I have designed this booklet as a handy way for students to collect lots of context stuff in a way that makes it easy to refer to and revise from. There’s a page for exploring how the title, taken from Burns’ To a Mouse links to each chapter in the novel. Next, there are pages dedicated to each chapter, with plenty of room for recording textual examples and quotations as well as context. The final pages are organised by character, so the students can quickly revise the relevant context connected to each of them. Please note: I haven’t included the contextual information in the booklet. This is merely a handy way of organising what they find out.

Hamlet 1,2 for KS3

(0)
This resource was designed for use with Year 8s, but it could work at GCSE or even A Level. Students: Read the opening of 1,2 (up until Claudius’ exit) Highlight his speech according to the various themes within it Explore the speech, finding key quotations The final page is to prepare for a hot-seating task where students get to think up questions for Claudius, Hamlet and Shakespeare, based on the opening of the scene. With weaker groups, I adopt the roles and they ask me questions, but with brighter students, they play the roles, too.

This is a short unit I use with Year 8 when doing ‘Hamlet’. We tend to focus on Act One, so I start by exploring the opening scene. Students: Read the scene aloud in groups (or as a whole class, if you like) Complete a cloze exercise about the scene Investigate how they would stage the ghost if they were producing the play in 1608 I usually show a YouTube clip of what the Globe Theatre would have been like at the time to help them visualise the scene.

12 Days of Christmas - fun writing task based on the song

(0)
Imagine your fiance decided to send you all the presents named in the song. How would you react? In this resource, a young woman called Emily writes letters to her fiance, George, after the first seven presents arrive. Naturally, the tone changes quite a bit, as her house fills up with birds, women and cows. Her family are none too pleased, either. Read the seven letters aloud with the class, and then get them, alone or in pairs, to write some or all of the remaining five. It’s lots of fun, but it also teaches them about tone and vocab at the end of a long term!
