This is a coplete short scheme, teaching paper2 AQA language. I made this for a year 10 group of low ability students, but it should work for any students. It is broken down in order for students to be able to individually access the work at home. There is a main focus on the comparison questions. There are 2 sets of practice papers.

A very brief synopsis of Henry V by William Shakespeare, using images and simple language. Students make notes as you tell them the story. Perfect for SEN, visual learners, EAL, or younger groups.

I made this using some other people's resources as well. It is for my IGCSE coursework on argument writing

This is part of the Cambridge IGCSE portforlio work on descriptive writing

These are the first two lessons of a scheme of work for year 9 on poetry. I will be selling the rest of the scheme for £2 for 18 more lessons with an anthology as well. The lessons are planned to engage students with poetry at the same time as teaching them key skills they’ll need for GCSE seen and unseen poetry. I have tried to use poems for imagery, language, structure and form, so that they can really develop their skills in discussing the different aspects of poetry. You could use the scheme for older and younger students as well and it could be used to teach unseen poetry to GCSE. This might not work if you are using the power and conflict poems for AQA as some of them are in the scheme. Please feel free to leave comments about the lessons I have uploaded.

I used this with a high ability year 8 group. I gave them different resources, such as paper, glue, googly eyes, lolly sticks, toilet rolls and silver foil. I also got them to create the interior of the room as described in the passage.

Here is a resoursce for IGCSE (Edexcel) I changed this from one I found from someone else

These are a series of lessons, using different resources and genres to teach the basics of creative writing. The lessons aim to teach students to say a lot about a little and create atmosphere and tension in their writing.

These are some of the broken-down resources I’ve made for my year 10s. These are for more low ability sets, but some of the tasks are a little more challenging.

I made this as a series of two lessons for year 10. Hope it is helpful

This is a resource I made based on the film 'The Impossible&'. There is a clip you can use and pictures which are on the PPT but could also be printed for the students. There are some great moments in the film and students enjoyed describing the peace and tranquillity at the beginning of the film and then the drama of the Tsunami wave.

I made this for my year 10 students - hope you find it useful

I made this resource for year 10 IGCSE students doing the Edexcel IGCSE

I made this to help students with writing to argue - it is an introductory lesson

A comprehensive introduction to Shakespeare, Shakespearean History, and the plays of Shakespeare. Powerpoint and worksheets for this lesson are included.

I used this to look at the openings of a number of different Dickens novels and then use what they had learned to write their own. The example is mine. They can read the extracts in one lesson and then think about the ingredients of a Dickensian novel.

This is a scheme of work with over 17 lessons on unseen poetry. There are lots of creative ideas in the scheme and differentiated materials. This is a full scheme of work and could be used for year 9, 10 or 11. It does cover a huge number of poems and skills. There are some poems The idea of the scheme is to give a wide view on poetry and hoe students can look at imagery, language and structure - this is tailored towards skills for the AQA seen and unseen poetry sections and is skill based.

I made this as a way to teach persuasive writing. You can get the students to create a product and then sell it. You can be really creative with this and create a letter to Lord Sugar and a debate in the boardroom.

Year 11 revision for the AQA paper - highlighting language devices in Barak Obama's speech - particularly looking at persuasive language and personal pronouns

I am using this with my high ability year 8 group. I am going to give them 15 minutes on each task. 5 minutes to read the extract and then 10 minutes to complete the activity. If you have lower ability students you could use some of the ideas and adapt them. I took these passages from someone else on TES - so thank you to that person.
